Question

Solve this linear system. 2.4 = 0.3 x + 0.4y 5x = 2 + 6y A) x = 4; y = 3 B) x = 3; y = 4 C) x = 4; y = -3 D) x = -4; y = 3

Answer 1

A) x = 4; y = 3

Explanation:

Answer 2

A) x = 4; y = 3

Explanation:

2.4 = 0.3x + 0.4y

5x = 2 + 6y

0.3x + 0.4y = 2.4

5x - 6y = 2

0.4y = 6 y = 6/0.4 = 15

15(0.3 + 0.4y) = 15(2.4)

4.5x+6y = 36 0.3(4) + 0.4y = 2.4

5x - 6y = 2 1.2 + 0.4y = 2.4

(you add the two equations) 0.4y = 1.2

9.5x = 38

x = 4 y = 3
