SOLUTION: Find the point of intersection of the two lines: x + 3y = -4 & 2(1-y)= 4x + 1/2. I solved this and got point: (1.25,-1.75), but I don't remember ever having decimal #s as a poin

Question 314262: Find the point of intersection of the two lines: x + 3y = -4 & 2(1-y)= 4x + 1/2.
I solved this and got point: (1.25,-1.75), but I don't remember ever having decimal #s as a point before.

No, those are the correct answers.
You won't always get exact integer answers.
In the real world, the answers are almost never integers.
Good job.
