Answer:
(x, y) = (1, 7.5)
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve the first equation for y, then substitute into the second equation.
y = 8 -1/2x . . . . . subtract 1/2x
2(8 -1/2x) = x +14
16 -x = x + 14 . . .eliminate parentheses
2 = 2x . . . . . . . add x-14
1 = x . . . . . . . . divide by 2
y = 8 -1/2(1) = 7 1/2
The solution is (x, y) = (1, 7 1/2).
