Solve by the elimination method
0.3x-0.2y=4
0.2x+0.5y= -21/23
The following steps solves the problem using Substitutions:

Solved by pluggable solver: SOLVE linear system by SUBSTITUTION

Solve:
We'll use substitution. After moving 0.2*y to the right, we get:
, or . Substitute that
into another equation:
and simplify: So, we know that y=-2.42406194163192. Since , x=1.49493746277546.

Answer: .

I hope the above steps were helpful.
