Can you explain how you answered it thank you!
x=
y=

x = 1.5 or 1 1/2

y = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving for x:

2x + 1/2 y = 7

6x - 1/2y = 5

Add both equations:

2x + 1/2 y + 6x - 1/2y = 7 + 5

8x = 12

x = 1 1/2

Solving for y:

2x + 1/2y = 7

We know x, so lets input

2(1.5) + 1/2y = 7

3 + .5y = 7

0.5y = 4

y = 4*2

y = 8

Check with the other equation

6x - .5y = 5

6(1.5) - 0.5y = 5

9 - 0.5y = 5

0.5y = 9 - 5

0.5y = 4

y = 4 * 2

y = 8
