Why make things complicated ?
Just solve it ....
(1/4)x-3=(1/2)x+8
times 4, the LCD
x - 12 = 2x + 32
-x = 44
x = -44
Where does y come from in the pairs of equations?
How can (1/4)x-3=(1/2)x+8 be setup as a system of equations?
4y + 4x = −12
2y + 2x = 16
4y − x = −12
2y − x = 16
4y + x = −12
2y + x = 16
4y − 4x = −12
2y − 2x = 16
