-x + 1/2 = x + 4 1/2
+x +x
1/2 = 2x + 4 1/2
-4 1/2 - 4 1/2
-4 = 2x
x = -2
Answer:
(3,0.5)
Step-by-step explanation:
The given system has equations:

Let us multiply the second equation by 4 and the first equation by 10.

We add both new equations to get:

Put x=3 into the first equation and solve for y.

The point of intersection is the solution to the system of equation which is (3,0.5)
Answer:
3.6 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Blake can do work in hours = 9
Blake can do a part of work in 1 hour = 
Ned can paint the same room in six hours.
Ned can do a part of work in 1 hour = 
They can do a part of work together in 1 hour = 
=
Now they can do
part of work in hour = 1
So, they can do whole work in hours = 
= 
Hence it will take 3.6 hours to paint the room if they work together.
