Since 2x - y = 1, we can add y to both sides,
so that 2x = 1 + y, and then subtract 1
so that 2x - 1 = y.
We can then sub. this value of y into the other equation.
x - 2y = -4
x - 2(2x - 1) = -4
x - 4x + 2 = -4
-3x + 2 = -4
-3x = -2
x = (-2)/(-3)
So x is equal to two-thirds.
We finish by substituting this x value into the first equation.
y = 2(2/3) - 1
y = 1/3
So y is equal to one third.

Whats the factor from of 2xy-4x plus 8y-16?
2xy - 4x plus 8y - 16 equals x plus 4 in parentheses multiplied by 2y minus 4 in parentheses. So, the factors are ( x + 4) and ( 2y - 4) .
The difference between 2x squared plus 4xy - 3 and x squared - 2xy - 4?
(2x2+4xy-3)-(x2-2xy-4)Answer: x2+6x+1
What is the perimeter of the rectangle in which A equals 2xymi?
The question doesn't nail it down; i.e., there can be several answers that satisfy the given information. Perimeter 'P' = 2 x (Length + Width) Area 'A' = (Length) x (Width) = 2 x y What is the Length, and what is the Width ? Here are five correct answers: ==> If the rectangle is (2) by (x y), A = 2xy, P = 4 + 2xy ==> If the rectangle is (2x) by (y), A = 2xy, P = 4x + 2y ==> If the rectangle is (x) by (2y), A = 2xy, P = 2x + 4y ==> If the rectangle is (1) by (2xy), A = 2xy, P = 2 + 4xy ==> If the rectangle is (0.1) by (20xy), A = 2xy, P = 0.2 + 40xy
How do you factor 3x3-x2y plus 12x-4y?
3x3 - x2y + 12x - 4y = x2*(3x - y) + 4*(3x - y) = (x2 + 4)*(3x - y)
What is 4xy minus 2y parenthesies x plus 4 parenthasies simplified?
4xy - 2y(x + 4) = 4xy - 2xy - 8y = 2xy - 8y = 2y(x - 4)
Whats the factor from of 2xy-4x plus 8y-16?
2xy - 4x plus 8y - 16 equals x plus 4 in parentheses multiplied by 2y minus 4 in parentheses. So, the factors are ( x + 4) and ( 2y - 4) .
If I know that x2y plus 4 and I plug that into 3y plus 5x what do I get?
You will get nonsense. You cannot plug x2y + 4 into anything!
What is 4x squared y plus 3x squared y?
4 (apples) plus 3 (apples) = 7 (apples). 4 (cows) + 3 (cows) = 7 (cows) 4 (x2y) + 3 (x2y) = 7 (x2y)

If Y' equals 2xy plus x to power 3 what is y equal to?
Assuming y' is dy/dx, y = x^4/4 + yx^2
How do you factor 3x3-x2y plus 12x-4y?
3x3 - x2y + 12x - 4y = x2*(3x - y) + 4*(3x - y) = (x2 + 4)*(3x - y)
Solve simultaneously y equals 2-x and x2 plus 2xy equals 3?
if y = 2- x then x^2 + 2x(2 - x) = 3 ie x^2 + 4 x -2x^2 = 3 ie 4x - 3 = x^2 x^2 - 4x +3 = 0 = (x - 1)(x - 3) so x = 1 or 3 Check: y= 2 - 1 =1; x^2 = 1, 2xy = 2 x 1 x 1 = 2, 1 +2 = 3. y = 2 - 3 = -1; x^2 = 9, 2xy = 2 x 3 x -1 = -6, 9 + -6 = 3. QED.
