Question

Solve this system of equations please it’s giving me fits

Answer 1

Given the system of equations below

`\begin{gathered} y=(1)/(2)x+(7)/(4)\ldots(1) \\ 2x-4y=1\ldots(2) \end{gathered}`

Using the substitution method

Substitute the value of y in equation (1) for y in equation (2)

`\begin{gathered} 2x-4y=1 \\ 2x-4((1)/(2)x+(7)/(4))=1 \\ 2x-2x-7=1 \\ -7=1 \end{gathered}`

The graph of the syste

Hence, there is no solution
