Start with the second equation.


Divide both sides by 4 to isolate y.


Move onto the first equation


Plug in


Distribute


Multiply EVERY term by the LCD 4 to clear out the fraction.


Distribute.


Combine like terms on the left side.


Add to both sides.


Combine like terms on the right side.


Divide both sides by to isolate .


Reduce. So this is the first answer.


-----------------------------------------------


Go back to the isolated equation


Plug in


Multiply


Add


Reduce. So this is the second answer.
