Step-by-step explanation:
a.
simply add both equations
x + y = 2
-3x - y = 5
----------------
-2x + 0 = 7
x = -7/2
x + y = 2
-7/2 + y = 2
y = 2 + 7/2 = 4/2 + 7/2 = 11/2
b.
1/2 x + 2y = -13
x - 4y = 8
first multiply the first equating by 2
x + 4y = -26
x - 4y = 8
--------------------
2x + 0 = -18
x = -18/2 = -9
x - 4y = 8
-9 - 4y = 8
-4y = 17
y = -17/4

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Total cake shared=1/2
Pete share=x
Bill= twice as much as Pete
=2x
Pete's share+ Bill's share=total share
x+2x=1/2
3x=1/2
x=1/2÷3
x=1/2×1/3
=1/6
Pete's share=x=1/6
Bill's share=2x
=2(1/6)
=2/6
=1/3
