Answer:

Simultaneous equations

Explanation:

4a + 7m = 17.75

2a + 5m = 10.75

Double the 2nd equation and then subtract the two equations to cancel the 4a out

Work with the 'm' terms and find the value of m

After finding the value of 'm', substitute it into one of the original equations (the ones given in the question) and solve to find the value of 'a'

Hope this helped
