Question

What is the solution to the system of equations shown? Y=1/2x+3 y=-2x+8

Answer 1

x=2

y=4

Explanation:

y=1/2x+3 equation1

y=-2x+8 equation2

1/2x+3 = -2x+8

simplify the equation

1/2x + 2x = 8 - 3

5/2x = 5

5x = 10

x = 2

Now, we have the value of x, just plug it in to any of the 2 equations

y=-2x+8

y = -2(2) + 8

y = -4 + 8

y = 4
