Question

2x+5y=20 y=-0.4x-1 i really need help over here

Answer 1

x=6.25 and y=1.5

Explanation:

Given equation

2x+5y=20

y=0.4x-1

Putting the value of y in above equation

2x+5(0.4x-1)=20

2x+2x-5=20

4x-5=20

4x=20+5

4x=25

x=6.25

Now,

y=0.4x-1( Given)

Putting the value of x=6.25 in above equation y

y=0.4(6.25)-1

y=2.5-1

y=1.5
