Question

Use the method of substitution to solve the system of equations. please show your work! y=534x y=74.80x+1,419 Thank you so much! If you could also solve it graphically that would be best but if not thats okay!

Answer 1

( 3, 1650 ), Where x = 3, and y = 1650 -

Approximately

Explanation:

Take a look at the procedure below;

`y = 534x,\\y = 74.80x + 1,419\\\\y = 534x,\\y - 74.8x = 1,419\\\\( 534x ) - 74.8x = 1,419\\459.2x = 1,419\\x = ( About ) 3\\\\y = 534 * ( x ),\\y = 534 * ( 3.1 ),\\y = ( About ) 1650`

We first converted the second equation into standard form, by subtracting 74.8x on either side. Afterwards we substituted 534x in replacement of y in this second equation, and solved for x. Knowing the value of x, it was substituted back into the first equation to solve for the value of y. Hence, the resulting solution is ( 3, 1650 ) - approximately.
