Start with the given system
Plug in into the first equation. In other words, replace each with . Notice we've eliminated the variables. So we now have a simple equation with one unknown.
Distribute the negative
Combine like terms on the left side
Subtract 4 from both sides
Combine like terms on the right side
Divide both sides by 2 to isolate x
Divide
Now that we know that , we can plug this into to find
Substitute for each
Simplify
So our answer is and which also looks like )
Notice if we graph the two equations, we can see that their intersection is at . So this verifies our answer.
Graph of (red) and (green)
