Question

How do you solve the system of equations and state the answer as an ordered pair, y= 1/2x + 1 and y= -2x + 6?

Answer 1

I found:
`x=2`
`y=2`

Explanation:

You can take the first equation and substitute it for `y` into the second to get:
`1/2x+1=-2x+6`
Now you solve for `x`. Rearranging:
`x+2=-4x+12`
collect `x` on one side:
`5x=10`
`x=10/5=2`
Substitute back into the first equation:
`y=1/2*2+1=2`
