Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 2y = 3 ( x2 for everything in the equation)

x - 4y = -1

4x+ 4y = 6

x - 4y = -1

Add the 1st line to the 2nd line to get rid of the y:

5x = 5

x - 4y = -1 ( you can pick any line from this system to be the second equation in this step, you can put 2x + 2y = 3 or 4x+ 4y = 6, anything above this step, but to make it simple chose the one you think is the easiest)

Solve for x, then plug the x value into the 2nd equation

x = 1

1 - 4y = -1

x = 1

-4y = -2 =) y = 1/2

x = 1

y= 1/2

Step-by-step explanation: The median is the middle number in a sorted, ascending or descending, list of numbers and can be more descriptive of that data set than the average. Write all of the numbers and cross out a even amount of numbers on both sides. Image 1 shows your problem. If your problem had another number, you solve it differently. Check image 2.
