Well we know 8x - 2y = 1 and -4x + y = 3
We’re looking for x and y.
Let’s do the y = mx + b form of this
-2 = 8x + 1
-2 = 8x + 1
-2 + 1 = 1
8x = 1
The x needs to equal 1/8 or 0.125
8 • 0.125 = 1
Then do the other one but plug in the numbers
y = -4(0.125) + 3
y = 0.5 + 3
y = 3.5
Though I’m sure there are multiple answers to these.
