Sorry, there is no equal sign in the second one, so it
isn't an equation.  Also there is no x term either but two number
terms, -3/2 and -1/2.  I think you meant one of those to
have an x by it right?  Type it carefully and correctly in the 
thank-you note and I'll get back to you.

I just guessed and put in an x and an equal sign in the second one.



Reduce the fraction  to 



Multiply the first one through by 3 and the
second one through by 4



Solve each for y:



St the right sides equal

 

Get 0 on the left side:



Factor the right side:



2x-1 = 0;    4x-3 = 0
  2x = 1       4x = 3
   x = ;       x = 
 
Substituting     x =  in













So one solution is (x,y) =       
  
-----

Substituting     x =  in













So the other solution is (x,y) =
