Question 739876: I need to find the answer to and show the steps of these two equations but I have no clue what to do or where to start.It's part of a project which is a big portion of my grade, any help would be great.
The equations are:
133(b)+6(c)=1000
2.07(b)+0.2(c)=8

133(b)+6(c)=1000
2.07(b)+0.2(c)=8
133b+6c=1000
2.07b+0.2c=8
-------------------------------
Solve equation 1 for 'c'
133b+6c=1000
6c=1000-133b
c=(1000-133b)/6
------------------
Plug this into the second equation
2.07b+0.2c=8
2.07b+0.2( (1000-133b)/6 )=8
2.07b+(0.2*1000-0.2*133b)/6=8
2.07b+(200-26.6b)/6=8
6*2.07b+6*(200-26.6b)/6=6*8 ... Multiply EVERY term by the LCD 6 to clear out fractions
12.42b + 200 - 26.6b = 48
-14.18b + 200 = 48
-14.18b = 48 - 200
-14.18b = -152
b = -152/(-14.18)
b = 10.71932299 (this is approximate)
c = (1000-133b)/6
c = (1000-133*10.71932299)/6
c = (1000-1425.66995767)/6
c = -425.66995767/6
c = -70.944992945 (this is approximate too)
-------------------------------------------------------
So the approximate solutions are
b = 10.71932299
c = -70.944992945
