Question

5.2x-y=4.1 1.5x+y=6.7
how to solve this problem

Answer 1

x = 1.61 (Estimated)

y = 4.28 (Estimated)

Explanation:

5.2x - y = 4.1

1.5x + y = 6.7

5.2x − y = 4.1

−y = −5.2x + 4.1

y = 5.2x − 4.1

Solve for x:

1.5x + y = 6.7

1.5x + 5.2x − 4.1 = 6.7

6.7x − 4.1 = 6.7

6.7x = 10.8

x = 1.61194

Solve for y:

y = 5.2x − 4.1

y = 5.2 × 1.61194 − 4.1

y = 4.28209

Answer 2

Answer: x=1.6

y=4.2

Explanation:

5.2x - y = 4.1

1.5x + y = 6.7

we will add both equations and you see that the y is getting cancelled

6.7x=10.8

x=10.8/6.7= 1.6

now in any equation we will replace x with 1.6

5.2(1.6)-y=4.1

8.3-y=4.1

-y= 4.1-8.3

-y=-4.2 multiply by -1

y=4.2
