Question

PLEASE HELP!!! (Algebra, lesson Fractional Coefficients)
y = ¼ x + 7
y = ½ x + 5
The y-coordinate of the solution to the system shown is multiple choice as 9, 11 ½ , or 19.
I have tried multiple times to solve this problem. How do I solve it correctly?

Answer 1

½ x + 5 = ¼ x + 7
¼ x - ½ x = 5-7
-¼ x = -2
x= 8
so y=¼ (8)+7= 9

Answer 2

we just went through this problem @ScienceQs the answer would be 9 just like before
