Question 103775
Set the two equations equal to each other


{{{5+2x=3-2x}}}





{{{2x=3-2x-5}}}Subtract 5 from both sides



{{{2x+2x=3-5}}} Add 2x to both sides



{{{4x=3-5}}} Combine like terms on the left side



{{{4x=-2}}} Combine like terms on the right side



{{{x=(-2)/(4)}}} Divide both sides by 4 to isolate x




{{{x=-1/2}}} Reduce


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

Answer:

So our answer is {{{x=-1/2}}}




Now plug in  {{{x=-1/2}}} in either equation to find y


{{{y=3-2(-1/2)}}} Plug in {{{x=-1/2}}}



{{{y=3+1}}} Multiply



{{{y=4}}} Add



So our solution is {{{x=-1/2}}} and {{{y=4}}}
