Question

Find the value of x for the following system of equations. 6x - 6y = 5 16 - 3x = y -85/101

101/24
96/5

Answer 1

`x=(101)/(24)`

Explanation:

we have

`6x-6y=5` -----> equation A

`16-3x=y` ----> equation B

solve the system by substitution

substitute equation B in equation A

`6x-6(16-3x)=5`

solve for x

`6x-96+18x=5`

`6x+18x=5+96`

`24x=101`

`x=(101)/(24)`
