Answer: x=25/4 or 6.25, y=79/16 or 4.9375
Explanation:
Normally, we would have to set up a system of linear equations, but in this case we can solve for x and plug in from there. x=5/2 or 2.5 when solving for the variable. Now we go to the second equation, plug for x, and solve for y. 5/2 times 5/2 is 25/4, multiplied by 3 is 75/4. Subtract 75/4 from -1, and divide both sides by -4.
