Answer:

x=10/3 y=17/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Use substitution to solve your equation. Plug in y=2x-1 into y=1/2x+4. This makes (2x-1)=1/2x+4. Simplify this to get 3/2x-1=4. Simplify it again to get 3/2x=5. No one likes fractions so multiply both sides by 2 to get 3x=10. Simplify this and get x=10/3. Plus 10/3 into one of the equations. You can pick anyone but I picked y=2x-1. Because you know x=10/3, you put y=2(10/3)-1. Simplify this and get y=20/3-1. Convert 1 into a fraction and get y=20/3-3/3. Simplify this and get y=17/3.

Therefore,

x=10/3 y=17/3

Hoped this helps you

A scale drawing of a building is one foot to 1/4 inch. What is the actual length of the building if the scale drawing shows that

Rom4ik [11]

$1\quad foot\quad :\quad \frac { 1 }{ 4 } \quad inch\\ \\ 4\quad \cdot \quad 1\quad foot\quad :\quad \frac { 1 }{ 4 } \quad inch\quad \cdot \quad 4\\ \\ 4\quad feet\quad :\quad 1\quad inch$

This means that:

$4\quad feet\quad :\quad 1\quad inch\\ \\ \frac { 27 }{ 2 } \cdot \quad 4\quad feet\quad :\quad \frac { 27 }{ 2 } \cdot \quad 1\quad inch\\ \\ \frac { 108 }{ 2 } \quad feet\quad :\quad \frac { 27 }{ 2 } \quad inches\\ \\ 54\quad feet\quad :\quad \frac { 27 }{ 2 } \quad inches\\ \\$

13 + 1/2 inches is the same as 54 feet
