Answer:
x = 3/2 , y = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
I'm assuming that you are being asked to solve the system of equations for x and y.
given:
4x- 2y = 8 ---------------(1)
2x + y =2 -----------------(2)
We can solve this by elimination:
multiple (2) by 2, we get:
2(2x + y) =2(2)
4x + 2y = 4 ------------(3)
(1) + (3) , we get:
(4x- 2y) - (4x + 2y) = 8 + 4
8x = 12 (divide both sides by 8)
x = 12/8
x = 3/2 answer, substitute this into (2)
2(3/2) + y =2
3 + y = 2 (subtract 3 from both sides)
y = 2 - 3
y = -1 answer
