Question

Solve the system of equations.

y = 2 - 6x

1/2y - x = 1

Question 4 options:

(0,-2)


(2,0)


(-2,0)


(0,0)


(1,-4)

Answer 1

Explanation:

We can start by solving the second equation for y:

1/2y - x = 1

1/2y = x + 1

y = 2x + 2

Now we can substitute this expression for y into the first equation:

y = 2 - 6x

2x + 2 = 2 - 6x

Adding 6x to both sides, we get:

8x + 2 = 2

Subtracting 2 from both sides, we get:

8x = -0

Dividing both sides by 8, we get:

x = 0

Now we can use this value of x to find y:

y = 2x + 2

y = 2(0) + 2

y = 2

Therefore, the solution to the system of equations is x=0 and y=2.
