Answer:

x = -6.4 and y = -3.6

Explanation:

The given system of equations are :


y=(3)/(2)x+6 ....(1)

and


y=(x)/(4)-2 ....(2)

We need to solve equation (1) and (2).

From equation (1) and (2),


(3)/(2)x+6=(x)/(4)-2

Taking like terms together,


(3)/(2)x-(x)/(4)=-2-6\\\\(6x-x)/(4)=-8\\\\x=-6.4

Put the value of x in equation (1).


y=(3)/(2)(-6.4)+6\\\\=-3.6

So, the values of x and y are x = -6.4 and y = -3.6
