\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " I have tried this question I take
\n" ); document.write( "8x+10y=46…………(1)
\n" ); document.write( "10x+5y=36…………(2)
\n" ); document.write( "(2)×2 gives 20x+10y=70
\n" ); document.write( "(3)-1 gives 12x=24;x=2.How is second equation can multiply with 2?
\n" ); document.write( "I got y=3 ..How to get the answer step by step?Is my answer is right?

To check your answer, plug your solution into your initial equations.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "How did you get your first equation?
\n" ); document.write( "Also, the right hand side of the second equation should be 35.
\n" ); document.write( "x-cost of 1 kg of potatoes
\n" ); document.write( "y-cost of 1 kg of onions
\n" ); document.write( "The cost of 8 kg of onions is rs-46.
\n" ); document.write( "1.\"8y=46\"
\n" ); document.write( "The cost of 10 kg of potatoes and 5 kg of onions is rs-35
\n" ); document.write( "2.\"10x%2B5y=35\"
\n" ); document.write( "Divide both side by 5.
\n" ); document.write( "\"2x%2By=7\"
\n" ); document.write( "From eq. 1,
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=46%2F8\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=23%2F4\"
\n" ); document.write( "So then substituting,
\n" ); document.write( "\"2x%2B23%2F4=7\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2x=28%2F4-23%2F4\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2x=5%2F4\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=5%2F8\"
\n" ); document.write( "So then verifying using eq. 2,
\n" ); document.write( "\"10%285%2F8%29%2B5%2823%2F4%29=35\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"25%2F4%2B115%2F4=35\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"140%2F4=35\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"35=35\"
\n" ); document.write( "True, so you have a good solution.
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=0.625\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=5.75\"\r
