Solve for x and solve for y step by step

x = 4, y = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

4x + y = 17 → (1)

2x + y = 9 → (2)

Subtract (1) from (2) term by term

(4x - 2x) + (y - y) = (17 - 9)

2x = 8 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 4

Substitute x = 4 into (1) and solve for y

4(4) + y = 17

16 + y = 17 ( subtract 16 from both sides )

y = 1

f(x) = - 2/3x + 5; f(5/2)

substitute 5/2 in for x:

f(5/2) = -2/3(5/2) + 5

simplify the right side:

f(5/2) = -5/3 + 5

f(5/2) = 10/3

answer:

f(5/2) = 10/3

i hope this you!
