Answer:

x= 0.083 y = 0.5

Explanation:

step 1:

equation 1: 6x -y

equation 2 : 4y = 2

from equation (2) 4y = 2, we calculate value of y to get x

4y = 2 ... divide both sides by 4

4y = 2

4 4 y = 1 /2. y = 0.5

Step 2:

input the value of y into the equation 1 to get x.

6x - y = 0

6x - 0.5 = 0

6x- 0.5 + 0.5 = 0 + 0.5 ( Add both sides of the equation by 0.5)

6x = 0.5.... divide both sides of the term by 6

6x = 0.5

6 6

x = 0.083

therefore, y = 0.5 and x = 0.0833
