I did this to get 47.5 as the answer not 47 im not sure why but i did (61-7+7×1/2)+17 using the PEMDAS please excuse my dear aunt sally
parenthesis exponents multiply divide add subtract
Answer:
x + y = 4 Equation 1
y = 2x -1 Equation 2
-2x + y = -1
x + y = 4
Subtract
You will get
- 3x = -5
Divide by -3
-3x / -3 = - 5 /-3
x = 5/3
Substitute x into equation 1
x + y = 4
x = 5/3
5/3 + y = 4
y = 4 - 5/3
y = 7/3
x = 5/3 y = 7/3
Hope this helps.
