Given:

2y - 4 = 0

x + 2y = 5

Solve for x.

Solution:

In order to solve for x, we substitute the value  of y of the 1st equation to the second equation.

2y - 4 = 0

2y = 4

2y/2 = 4/2

y =2

Since we have the value of y as 2, we substitute 2 to the second equation

x + 2(2)=5

x + 4 = 5

x = 5 -4

x = 1

Final answer:

x =1
