Solution
We have the following system of equations:
1/2 x -1/4 y = 2 (1)
x + 1/4 y = -1 (2)
We can solve for x from the first equation and we got:
x= -1 -1/4 y (3)
Replacing (3) into (1) we got:
[tex]\frac{1}{2}(-1-\frac{1}{4}y)-\frac{1}{4}y=2[/tex][tex]-\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{8}y-\frac{1}{4}y=2[/tex]Solving for y we got:
[tex]-\frac{3}{8}y=\frac{5}{2}[/tex]y= -20/3
And x would be:
x= 2/3
