What is the soulution to the system of equations represented by the two equations
@iGreen
Make them equal Solve for x then, solve for y
yes since you have 2 functions of x equal to the same value (y) you just equate the 2 functions of x
3/2*-1/2
then solve this equation for x to find y you replace x in say y=(3/2) x by the value you found and work out y
im still confused
both (3/2) x and (-1/2) x +4 are equal to y right?
thats what the question says
yes
What is the solution to the system of equations represented by the two equations?
ok so if they are both equal to y then they must equal each other therefore (3/2)x = -(1/2)x + 4
can you solve the above equation for x?
idk
\(\dfrac{3}{2}x = -\dfrac{1}{2}x + 4\) Add 1/2x to both sides: \(\dfrac{3}{2}x + \dfrac{1}{2}x = 4\) Can you add 3/2x + 1/2x?
its not wanting a fraction it wanting two numbers
4/2
x=4/2
4/2x* That gives us: \(\dfrac{4}{2}x = 4\) Can you divide 4/2 to simplify the fraction all the way?
it equals 2
Yes, so we have: \(2x = 4\) Now divide 4 / 2.
