Y=1/2x +5 Y=-3/2x-7 Find x and y

I'm going to use the substitution method. 

If y = - 3/2 - 7, then:

1/2x + 5 = - 3/2x - 7

Combine like terms: 

4/2x = - 12. Mutiply both sides by 2/4 to get x = -12 (2/4)

Simplify to get:

x = - 6.

Plug - 6 back in for x in either equation.

Y = 1/2( - 6) + 5 which becomes Y = - 3 + 5.

X = - 6, Y = 2

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 10

22x + 14y = 172

-22x - 22y = -220

22x + 14y = 172

-8y = - 48

y = 6 ceramic vases

x + 6 = 10

x = 4 glass vases
