SOLUTION: 10x + 13y =154 then I moved the 13 y over to read 10x=154-13y then I divided by 10 to get the x alone to read x=15.4-1.3y then I get lost I need the value of x and y

Question 591307: 10x + 13y =154 then I moved the 13 y over to read
10x=154-13y then I divided by 10 to get the x alone to read
x=15.4-1.3y then I get lost I need the value of x and y

I'm assuming you want the x and y intercepts.



x-intercept


To find the x-intercept, plug in y=0 and solve for x


10x+%2B+13y+=154 Start with the given equation.


10x+%2B+13%280%29+=154 Plug in y=0.


10x+%2B+0+=154 Multiply 13 and 0 to get 0.


10x=154 Simplify.


x=%28154%29%2F%2810%29 Divide both sides by 10 to isolate x.


x=77%2F5 Reduce.


So the x-intercept is .

y-intercept


To find the y-intercept, plug in x=0 and solve for y


10x+%2B+13y+=154 Start with the given equation.


10%280%29+%2B+13y+=154 Plug in x=0.


0+%2B+13y+=154 Multiply 10 and 0 to get 0.


+%2B+13y+=154 Simplify.


y=%28154%29%2F%2813%29 Divide both sides by 13 to isolate y.


So the y-intercept is .
