    x=5/6

    y=3/2

    Step-by-step explanation:

    They are both equal to y so set them equal to each other. (transitive property)

    3x-1=1/2x+2

    Multiply each side by 2.

    (2) (3x-1) = 2 (1/2x+2)

    6x-2=x+4

    Subtract x from each side.

    5x-2=4

    Add two to each side.

    5x=6

    Divide each side by 5.

    x=5/6

    Now plug 5/6 into y=3x-1.

    y=3 (5/6) - 1

    y = (15/6) - 1

    y = (5/2) - 1

    Subtract 1.

    y=3/2
