Question

Solve the system of equations. -9Y +4X -20 =0
-7Y +16 X -80 =0
X=
Y=

Answer 1

X=5, Y=0

Explanation:

-9Y +4X -20=0

-7Y+16X-80=0

1. We can multiply the first equation by 4. This will equal to -36Y +16X-80=0.

-36Y +16X -80 =0

-7Y+16X-80=0

2. We can subtract these two equations.

-36Y +16X -80 =0

-7Y+16X-80=0

We will get -29Y =0. Y=0.

3. Then we can substitute y into the first equation. -9(0) +4x-20 =0. 4x=20. x=5

X=5, Y=0
