Question

How do I solve this equation to find x and y

Answer 1

(x,y) = (6/5, 38)

Explanation:

y = y right?

so, you just substitute both of those equations

26+10x = 44-5x

26 -44 = -5x -10x

x = 6/5

then substitute x into ANY of these two equations

let's say we want the second one

y = 44 - 5 × 6/5

y = 38

I'm not sure but I think that first number there might be a 20 and not a 26. If that's true then, solving the same way you'd have

(x,y) = (8/5, 36)
