Start with the first equation.
Multiply both sides by . This will eliminate the fractions.
Distribute and multiply
Subtract from both sides.
Factor out from the right side.
Divide both sides by .
So after isolating y of the first equation, we get
---------------------------------
Move onto the second equation
Plug in . In other words, replace "y" with
Multiply the numerator "-10" by the reciprocal of the fraction in the denominator.
Distribute
Simplify.
Multiply both sides by . This will eliminate the fractions.
Simplify
Subtract from both sides.
Combine like terms.
Divide both sides by -800.
Reduce. So this is the first part of the answer.
Go back to the first isolated equation
Plug in
Multiply and reduce
Subtract
Multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.
Multiply and reduce
