$y = \frac{1}{2} x - 5$ $x + y = 1$

Step 1

Combine $\frac{1}{2}$ and $x$ .

$y = \frac{x}{2} - 5$

$x + y = 1$

Step 2

Subtract $x$ from both sides of the equation.

$y = 1 - x$

$y = \frac{x}{2} - 5$

Step 3

Create a graph to locate the intersection of the equations. The intersection of the system of equations is the solution.
