Answer:
x = 1.5 or 1 1/2
y = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Solving for x:
2x + 1/2 y = 7
6x - 1/2y = 5
Add both equations:
2x + 1/2 y + 6x - 1/2y = 7 + 5
8x = 12
x = 1 1/2
Solving for y:
2x + 1/2y = 7
We know x, so lets input
2(1.5) + 1/2y = 7
3 + .5y = 7
0.5y = 4
y = 4*2
y = 8
Check with the other equation
6x - .5y = 5
6(1.5) - 0.5y = 5
9 - 0.5y = 5
0.5y = 9 - 5
0.5y = 4
y = 4 * 2
y = 8
