4x=8-2
Consider the first equation. Subtract 2 from both sides.
4x=6
Subtract 2 from 8 to get 6.
x=\frac{6}{4}
Divide both sides by 4.
x=\frac{3}{2}
Reduce the fraction \frac{6}{4} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.
2\times \frac{3}{2}+y=\frac{\frac{3}{2}}{8}
Consider the second equation. Insert the known values of variables into the equation.
3+y=\frac{\frac{3}{2}}{8}
Multiply 2 and \frac{3}{2} to get 3.
3+y=\frac{3}{2\times 8}
Express \frac{\frac{3}{2}}{8} as a single fraction.
3+y=\frac{3}{16}
Multiply 2 and 8 to get 16.
y=\frac{3}{16}-3
Subtract 3 from both sides.
y=-\frac{45}{16}
Subtract 3 from \frac{3}{16} to get -\frac{45}{16}.
x=\frac{3}{2} y=-\frac{45}{16}
The system is now solved.
