Question

Help please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

• (1.5, 8)

Explanation:

We can see the coefficients of y are same in number but have opposite signs.

We need to add equations, this will eliminate y:

• 2x + 6x = 7 + 5
• 8x = 12
• x = 12/8
• x = 1.5

Now find the value of y:

• 2(1.5) + 0.5y = 7
• 3 + 0.5y = 7
• 0.5y = 4
• y = 4/0.5
• y = 8
