Answer:
x=2/5, y=-24/5. (2/5, -24/5).
Step-by-step explanation:
y=-2x-4
y=1/2x-5
----------------
-2x-4=1/2x-5
-2x-1/2x-4=-5
-4/2x-1/2x=-5+4
-5/2x=-1
5/2x=1
x=1/(5/2)
x=2/5
y=1/2(2/5)-5
y=1/5-5
y=1/5-25/5
y=-24/5
Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation: 12:3=4, 4 x 2= 8
Greater because the product of the fraction is greater than 1

x + y = 3
x =6 - 4y
Solution
Use the top equation to substitute for x in the second equation.
x = 3 - y
Put this result into the second given equation and solve for y
3 - y = 6 - 4y Add 4y to both sides.
3 - y + 4y = 6 Combine on the left
3 + 3y = 6 Subtract 3 from both sides
3 - 3 + 3y = 6 - 3 Combine
3y = 3 Divide by 3
3y/3 = 3/3 Combine
y = 1
=========================
x + y = 3 but y = 1
x + 1 = 3 Subtract 1 from both sides.
x + 1 - 1 =3 - 1
x = 2
Answer
x = 2
y = 1
