Solve the system of linear equations Y+2.3=0.45x -2y=4.2-7.8
Question
Answer:
Solve the following system using substitution:{y + 2.3 = 0.45 x
{-2 y = -3.6
In the second equation, look to solve for y:
{y + 2.3 = 0.45 x
{-2 y = -3.6
-3.6 = -18/5:
-2 y = -18/5
Divide both sides by -2:
{y + 2.3 = 0.45 x
{y = 9/5
Substitute y = 9/5 into the first equation:
{4.1 = 0.45 x
{y = 9/5
In the first equation, look to solve for x:
{4.1 = 0.45 x
{y = 9/5
4.1 = 41/10 and 0.45 x = (9 x)/20:
41/10 = (9 x)/20
41/10 = (9 x)/20 is equivalent to (9 x)/20 = 41/10:
{(9 x)/20 = 41/10
{y = 9/5
Multiply both sides by 20/9:
Answer: {x = 82/9
{y = 9/5
