Question

What is the solution to the system of equations?

y = 2x – 3.5

x – 2y = –14

(–7, 3.5)
(3.5, –7)
(7, 10.5)
(10.5, 7)

Answer 1

(7, 10.5)

Explanation:

Answer 2

(7, 10.5)

Explanation:

just going to use substitution here.

so you would substitute the y value in the equation x-2y=-14 with 2x-3.5.

it should look like: x-2(2x-3.5)=-14

solve the equation and you get x=7.

plug in 7 for x in either equation and you get y= 10.5.
