You can put this solution on YOUR website! y=1/2x+4
2y+2x=2
use the substitution method, plug "y" in the for the second equation
2(1/2x+4)+2x=2 simplify
x+4+2x=2
3x+4=2 subtract 4 from both sides
3x=-2 divide by 3 from both sides
x=-2/3
now plug (-2/3) into an original equation and solve
y=1/2(-2/3)+4
y=-1/3+4
y=11/4 or 3.7
