first, spread the parenthesis. y+2=1/2x-1.5
second, add 1.5 to both sides. y+3.5=1/2x
third, multiply by 2. 2y+7=x
if you are solving for y, do not do the third step, instead, subtract by 3.5. y=x-3.5
hope this helps!
ANSWER: x=2y+7 or y=x-3.5
i’m pretty sure the answer would be 1) linear :D

Answer:
<em>9 sheep and 5 goats</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
s + g = 14
125s + 75g = 1500
125( 14 - g ) + 75g = 1500
1750 - 125 g + 75g = 1500
50g = 250
g = <em>5 goats</em>
s = <em>9 sheep</em>
Answer:
The solution set is (6,3)
Step-by-step explanation:
Begin by multiplying equation 1 by 2. You'll see why in a moment
2y = 2*(1/2) x
2y = x
Substitute this value into equation 2.
2y + 4y = 18 Combine like terms on the left
6y = 18 Divide both sides by 6
6y/6 = 18/6 Do the division
y = 3
To solve for x just use the top equation
y = 1/2x
3 = 1/2x Multiply by 2
3*2 = x
x = 6
