Question

I need working and answers for this question

Answer 1

y= 1/2, x=1/2

Explanation:

1st equation:

2x/3 + 3y/4 = 17/24 ... multiply it with 6

4x + 18y/4 =17/4

2nd equation:

4x/3 + 5y/3 = 3/2 .....multiply it with 3

(-) 4x + 5y = 9/2

using elimination method

4x + 5y = 9/2

4x + 18y/4 =17/4

......................................... x cancel out's

y/2 =1/4

y= 1/2

so x, 4x + 5y =9/2

x = (9/2 -5y)/4

x=(9/2 -5(1/2)/4

=1/2
