Make them equal Solve for x then, solve for y

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

yes since you have 2 functions of x equal to the same value (y) you just equate the 2 functions of x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3/2*-1/2

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im still confused

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

both (3/2) x and (-1/2) x +4 are equal to y right?

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

thats what the question says

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is the solution to the system of equations represented by the two equations?

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

ok so if they are both equal to y then they must equal each other therefore (3/2)x = -(1/2)x + 4

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

can you solve the above equation for x?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk

OpenStudy (igreen):

\(\dfrac{3}{2}x = -\dfrac{1}{2}x + 4\) Add 1/2x to both sides: \(\dfrac{3}{2}x + \dfrac{1}{2}x = 4\) Can you add 3/2x + 1/2x?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its not wanting a fraction it wanting two numbers

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=4/2

OpenStudy (igreen):

4/2x* That gives us: \(\dfrac{4}{2}x = 4\) Can you divide 4/2 to simplify the fraction all the way?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it equals 2

OpenStudy (igreen):

Yes, so we have: \(2x = 4\) Now divide 4 / 2.
