Answer:
one solution
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the equations
1/4x + 1 1/2y =5/8 ..... 1
3/4x - 1 1/2y =3 3/8 ..... 2
Get the value of x
Add both equations
1/4x + 3/4x = 5/8+3 3/8
4x/4 = 5/8+27/8
x = 32/8
x= 4
Substitute x = 4 into equation 1
From 1;
1/4x + 1 1/2y =5/8 .
1/4(4) + 3/2 y = 5/8
1 + 3/2 y = 5/8
3/2 y = 5/8 - 1
3/2 y = -3/8
Cross multiply
24y = -6
y = -6/24
y = -1/4
Hence the solution {x,y) is (4, -1/4)
The system has only one solution
