2x=1
Subtract 7 from 8 to get 1.
x=\frac{1}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
4y=2+4
Consider the second equation. Add 4 to both sides.
4y=6
Add 2 and 4 to get 6.
y=\frac{6}{4}
Divide both sides by 4.
y=\frac{3}{2}
Reduce the fraction \frac{6}{4} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.
x=\frac{1}{2} y=\frac{3}{2}
The system is now solved.
