Answer:

(-2, -3)

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume your system of equations is ...

  • 2x - y = -1
  • 2x -4y = 8

You can subtract the second equation from the first to get

... (2x -y) -(2x -4y) = (-1) -(8)

... 3y = -9 . . . . . collect terms

... y = -3 . . . . . . divide by 3 . . . . this is sufficient to identify the correct answer

Substituting into the first equation, we have ...

... 2x -(-3) = -1

... 2x = -4 . . . . . add -3

... x = -2 . . . . . . .divide by 2

Now, we're sure the answer is (x, y) = (-2, -3).

therefore,

ZW = XZ/2 = 38/2 = 19
