Question

44x+22y=2024
x+y=60
use process of elimination

Answer 1

below

Explanation:

We need to eliminate oneof the variables....I'll choose 'y'

x+ y = 60 <======multiply this equation - 22 to get

-22x -22y = -1320

44x =22y = 2024 Now add the two equations together to eliminaty 'y'

22x = 704 then x = 32 x+y = 60 so y = 28
