Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Without a second equation relating x and y, we can solve 3x - 1/2y = 2 ONLY for x in terms of y or for y in terms of x:

x in terms of y:    Multiply all three terms of 3x - 1/2y = 2 by 2, to eliminate the fraction:  6x - y = 4.  Now add y to both sides to isolate 6x:  6x = 4 + y.

Last, divide both sides by 6 to isolate x:

x = (4 + y)/6

y in terms of x:    

y = 6x - 4

If you want a numerical solution, please provide another equation in x and y and solve the resulting system.
