Solve using the substitution method
4x-2y=8
y=1/2x +2

Hello there! the answer would be x = 3/4.

You are given the two equations: 4x - 2y = 8 and y = 1/2x + 2. You are asked to solve via substitution. To do this, substitute the value of y in the second given equation into the first given equation, and solve using PEMDAS.

4x - 2(1/2x + 2) = 8 - Start by distributing 2 into (1/2x + 2).

4x - 1x + 4 = 8 - Combine like terms.

3x + 4 = 8 - Subtract 4 from both sides.

3x = 4 - divide both sides by 3.

x = 3/4. This is your final answer.

I hope this was helpful, have a great day! :)

probability for j is 1/4

while

a is 1/6

step-by-step explanation:

we are given a graph for system of inequalities.

in order to write the system of inequalities for the given graph, we need to find the inequality for each of the line separately.

let us find the slope of dotted line first.

taking two coordinates on the graph.

let us say (0,0) and (3,1).

let us find the slope of the line now.

slope of the dotted line would be =.

y-intercept of dotted line is y=0 only.

plugging slope m= and b=0 in slope-intercept form y=mx+b, we get

.

the line is shaded up of that dotted line.

therefore, for shading up we would take greater than inequality symbol > .

and because it's a dotted line we would take only > symbol in place of = sign in above equation of line.

therefore, inequality for dotted line would be

let us take two points (3,1) and (0,4) on the solid line.

slope of the solid line would be =.

for the solid line we have y-intercept b= 4.

plugging slope m= -1 and b=4 in slope-intercept form y=mx+b, we get

y = -1x + 4.

the line is shaded down of that solid line.

therefore, for shading down we would take less than inequality symbol < .

and because it's a solid line we would take ≤ symbol in place of = sign in above equation of line.

therefore, inequality for solid line would be
