okay, Thanks for trying :) @jakes4444444444444

Since \(y\) is equal to \(\dfrac{3}{2}x\) and \(y\) is also equal to \(-\dfrac{1}{2}x+4\) Then you can just equate the 2 equations together, since they're both equal: \[ -\dfrac{1}{2}x+4=\frac{3}{2}x\] Add \(\dfrac{1}{2}x\) to both sides: \[ 4=2x\] Now you can solve for x. Once you find the value of x, plug in that value of x into any of your 2 initial equations (perhaps \(y=\dfrac{3}{2}x\) will be easier), and this will give you the value of y :)
