Question

Please help me with this problem! I am so confused: This system of equations shows x by itself on the left side of one equation. Solve the system by substituting for x instead of y.
x = -y - 2
0.5x + y = 1

Answer 1

Answer:

x=-6

y=4

Step-by-step explanation:

x=-y-2        x=-y-2             x=-y-2         x=-y-2         x=-y-2   x=-4-2   x=-6

0.5x+y = 1  0.5(-y-2)+y=1  -0.5y-1+y=1  -y-2+2y=2  y=4       y=4       y=4
