Answer:

(9,126)

Step-by-step explanation:

Make sure x and y are on the same side

[tex]0.5x+0.25y=36\\16x-1y=18[/tex]

Eliminate y by multiplying the first equation by 4 then adding both equations together

[tex]2x+1y=144\\16x-1y=18\\18x=162\\x=9[/tex]

Plug the x value (9) into one of the equations

[tex]16(9)-1y=18[/tex]

Solve

[tex]16(9)-1y=18\\144-1y=18\\144=18+1y\\126=y[/tex]

x=9, y=126
