Answer:
1
Step-by-step explanation:
The method I used is elimination.
x - 2y = 1
-x - 4y = -7 To find y, we need to cancel the x by using it's opposite. This also affects the other numbers in the equation. This makes positive 4 into a negative and positive 7 into a negative.
Now we are left with, -2y = 1
-4y = -7
Add and you get, -6y = -6
Divide -6y/-6 = -6/-6
Our answer is, y = 1.
