Question

Y=2x-1
y=1/2x+4
find the solution to the system equations

Answer 1

2x-1=1/2x+4
2x-1/2x=5
3/2x=5
x=10/3
y=17/3

Answer 2

x=10/3 y=17/3

Explanation:

Use substitution to solve your equation. Plug in y=2x-1 into y=1/2x+4. This makes (2x-1)=1/2x+4. Simplify this to get 3/2x-1=4. Simplify it again to get 3/2x=5. No one likes fractions so multiply both sides by 2 to get 3x=10. Simplify this and get x=10/3. Plus 10/3 into one of the equations. You can pick anyone but I picked y=2x-1. Because you know x=10/3, you put y=2(10/3)-1. Simplify this and get y=20/3-1. Convert 1 into a fraction and get y=20/3-3/3. Simplify this and get y=17/3.

Therefore,

x=10/3 y=17/3
