One possible system is
1x + 3y = 4
2x + 6y = 8
Note how 2 is twice as large as 1, 6 is twice as large as 3, and 8 is twice as large as 4.
In other words, the second equation is the result of multiplying both sides of the first equation by 2.
1x+3y = 4
2*(1x+3y) = 2*4
2x+6y = 8
Effectively the two equations in bold are the same which produces the same line. The two lines overlap perfectly to intersect infinitely many times. An intersection is a solution.

Answer:
-9.85
Step-by-step explanation:
-15.5 - 4.2 = -19.7
Negatives work like positives
19.7 / 2 = 9.85
Turn that into a negative
-9.85
To answer this question, you need to draw out the graph first. By doing so, you will be able to know where the other endpoint is located. (Fig. 1)
Next, count the number from the midpoint to the endpoint to determine the coordinates for the other endpoint. (Fig. 2)
Example: From (2, 5) to (6, 3)
x: 2 to 6 = 4 steps
y: 5 to 3 = 2 steps
From there, you can determine the other endpoint like this.
Example: From (2, 5) to the other endpoint
x: 2 to x1 = 4 steps
y: 5 to y1 = 2 steps
Therefore, x1 = -2 and y1 = 7
Other endpoint: (-2, 7)
Sorry for the messy drawing, it is hard to draw without a pen. Haha... hope this helps :)
Since each ton equals 2000 pounds you add 2000+2000+500 (because of the half) and it equals 4,500 pounds
