You isolate one variable. Let's say that x will be that variable in the first equation:
x-y=1
 +y  +y
x=y+1
So now you have the equation for x.  All you have to do is substitute it into the other:
x=y+1
(y+1)+y=3
Combine like terms and solve:
2y+1=3
    -1  -1
2y=2
2y/2=2/2
y=1
Now that you have the value of one, substitute it into either of the equations to find x.
If you put it in the first:
x-1=1
 +1  +1
x=2
If you put it into the other, you would get the same answer.
Therefore, y=1 and x=2

Consider the universal set U and the sets X, Y, Z. U={1,2,3,4,5,6} X={1,4,5} Y={1,2} Z={2,3,5} What is (Z⋃X′)⋂Y?
beks73 [17]

X' = U - X

= {1,2,3,4,5,6} - {1,4,5}

= {2,3,6}

(ZUX') = {2,3,5} U {2,3,6}

= {2,3,5,6}

(Z⋃X′)⋂Y = {2,3,5,6} ⋂ {1,2}

= {2}

1/2y+2/5=4 2/5 how do I solve this matter
Inessa [10]

Answer:

y =8

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2y+2/5=4 2/5

Subtract 2/5 from each side

1/2y+2/5-2/5=4 2/5-2/5

1/2 y = 4

Multiply each side by 2

1/2y *2 = 4*2

y = 8
