Question 64389: Question #21 is Use the substitution method to solve the linear system. These are the equations:2x+3y=31, y=x+7 i tried to substituted it then it looked like this 2x+3(x+7)=31 then i combined like terms and it looked like this 5x+7=31 i took away the 7 to both sides and got 5x=24 i divided both sides by 5 to isolate the variable and got x=4.8 then i plugged that in for the next equation and i got 2(4.8)+3y=31 i solved the x so i got 9.6+3y=31 i subtacted the 9.6 and then it looked like this 3y=21.4 i dived it by three and i ended up with y=7.13 so the answer i got was (4.8,7.13) but the answer in the back of the book says it's (2,9) i don't know what i did wrong. please help me?

Question 65072: A furniture manufacturing company manufactures tables and chairs. A table
requires 8 labor-hours for assembly and 2 labor-hours for finishing. A
chair requires 2 labor-hours for assembly and 1 labor-hour for finishing.
The maximum labor-hours available per day for assembly and finishing are
400 and 110, respectively. If x is the number of tables and y is the number
of chairs produced per day, determine how many tables and chairs can be
assembled and finished.

Answer

x = # of tables
y = # of chairs
x + 2y = 400, assembly
8x + 2y = 110, finished
