Solve {l}{4-2x=0}{4-2y=0}

$$\left. \begin{array} { l } { 4 - 2 x = 0 } \\ { 4 - 2 y = 0 } \end{array} \right.$$

Solve for x, y

$$x=2$$

$$y=2$$

Solution Steps

Consider the first equation. Subtract 4 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.

$$-2x=-4$$

Divide both sides by -2.

$$x=\frac{-4}{-2}$$

Divide -4 by -2 to get 2.

$$x=2$$

Consider the second equation. Subtract 4 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.

$$-2y=-4$$

Divide both sides by -2.

$$y=\frac{-4}{-2}$$

Divide -4 by -2 to get 2.

$$y=2$$

The system is now solved.

$$x=2 y=2$$
