Question

Solve the simultaneous equation.......2x + 10y = 50 (equation 1) and 1.5x + 25y = 90 (equation 2)​

Answer 1

Explanation:

2x + 10y = 50 ... 1

1.5x + 25y = 90 ...2

...1 × 2.5

5x + 25y = 125 ...3

...3 - ...2

3.5x = 35

x = 10

replaced x = 10 in ...1

2(10) + 10y = 50

20 + 10y = 50

10y = 50 - 20

10y = 30

y = 3
