Answer
(-0.5, 2)
Work Step by Step
Our two equations are:
1. x+y=1.5
2. 2x+y=1
We do not have to multiply the equations by anything and we can start elimination because both equations have y.
So lets subtract the second equation from the first equation. We get:
-x=0.5
Divide by -1 on both sides. We get:
x=-0.5
We know the x value so now plug 0.5 as the x value in the first equation to get our y value.
-0.5+y=1.5
Add 0.5 to both sides and we get the value for y.
y=2
So our answer is (-0.5, 2)
