Solve by the elimination method
0.05x + 0.25y = 11
0.15x + 0.05y = 12
:
Multiply both equations by 100 to get rid of the decimals
5x + 25y = 1100
15x + 5y = 1200
:
Multiply the 1st equation by 3
15x + 75y = 3300
15x + 5y = 1200
---------------Subtracting eliminates x; find y
70y =
y = 30
:
Find x using eq: 5x + 25y = 1100
5x + 25(30) = 1100
5x + 750 = 1100
5x = 1100 - 750
5x = 350
x =
x = 70
;
:
Check solutions in 1st original equation
0.05(70) + 0.25(30) = 11
3.5 + 7.5 = 11
