How do you solve the following linear system: #y = 4x - 13 , y = 1/2x - 3/2 #? Algebra Systems of Equations and Inequalities Systems Using Substitution 1 Answer VinÃcius Ferraz Nov 14, 2015 #(23/7, 1/7) in mathbb{Q times Q}# Explanation: #y = 4x - 13 = 1/2 x - 3/2# // times two #2y = 8x- 26 = x - 3# #8x -x = -3 + 26# #x = 23/7# #y = 4 cdot 23/7 - 13# Answer link Related questions How do you solve systems of equations using the substitution method?
