Question

Solve y= 6x 45 and y = 15x using elimination

Answer 1

Assuming the corrected equations are y = 6x + 45 and y = 15x, by using elimination method we find that the solution to the system of equations is x = 5 and y = 75.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student seems to have made a typo in the first equation. Assuming the correct equations are y = 6x + 45 and y = 15x, we want to solve them using the elimination method. By setting the two equations equal to each other, we can solve for x.

First, we write the two equations:

• 
  
• y = 6x + 45
• 
  
• y = 15x

Next, we set them equal to eliminate y:

6x + 45 = 15x

To solve for x, we'll subtract 6x from both sides:

45 = 9x

Now, divide both sides by 9 to get the value of x:

x = 5

Finally, substitute x back into one of the original equations to find y:

y = 15(5)

y = 75

Thus, the solution to the system of equations is x = 5 and y = 75.
