(*HELP PLEASE*)
What is the solution to the system of equations represented by the two equations?
y= (-1/2x) =4
y = 3/2x
(***Both Equations are Fractions***)

I know i'm supposed to set them equal to find the answer but I don't know how. Please walk me through it!

campbell_st · Answer

well can you check the 1st equation, it can't be 

what you have typed. is it 

$$y = \frac{-1}{2} x + 4$$

anonymous · Answer

Yes ^ Both equations are fractions.

campbell_st · Answer

because each are equal to y... the can be equated so you need to solve 

$$\frac{3}{2} x = -\frac{1}{2} x + 4$$

add 1/2 x to both side of the equation then solve for x

if you do not like to mess with fractions, multiply the entire equation by 2...then solve for x
