You have to use the order of operations when evaluating algebraic expressions. The m<span>nemonic device is PEMDAS, which stands for Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction. So the first thing is to solve what's in the parentheses.</span>
y = −2x + 1
4x + 2y = −1
Replace Y in the second equation with the value of Y in the first one.
4x + 2(-2x +1) = -1
Distributive Property:
4x + -4x + 2 = -1
Combine like terms:
2 = -1 which is not true, so there are no solutions.
The answer to your question is 6.
