Question 188149
x=y/2...........eq 1
4y=3x-5.........eq 2
:
take the value of x in equation 1 and plug it into every occurence of x in eq 2
:
4y=3(y/2)-5
:
8y=3y-10.....multiplied all terms by 2 to eliminate fraction
:
5y=-10
:
y=-2
:
now take y's found value and plug it back into either equation to find x. I choose eq 2
:
4(-2)=3x-5--->3x=-3
:
x=-1
