Solve the system of equations using the Addition/Elimination Method.
x – 3y = 3
0.5x + 2y = –0.25
-----------------------
Multiply thru the 1st Equation by 5
Multiply thru the 2nd Equation by 10
-------------------------------------------
5x - 15y = 15
5x + 20y = -2.5
-----------------------
Subtract the 1st equation from the 2nd and solve for "y":
35y = -17.5
y = -17.5/35 = -1/2
------------------------
Since x -3y = 3, x = 3(-1/2)+3 ; x = 3/2
=============================================
Solution : x = 3/2 ; y = -1/2
=============================================
