Question

How to solve this?
0.5x+y=1.5 and 0.8x-0.2y=6

Answer 1

Explanation:

Step 1 : 0.5x + y = 1.5

0.8x - 0.2y =6

Step 2 : y = 1.5 - 0.5x

0.8x - 0.2 ( 1.5 - 0.5x ) = 6

Step 3 : y = 1.5 - 0.5x

0.8x - 0.3 + 0.1x = 6

Step 4 : y = 1.5 - 0.5x

0.9x = 6.3

Step 5 : y = 1.5 - 0.5* 7

x = 7 ( put 7 into the x value above )

Ans: y = -2

x = 7
