Question 1078025: solve the following systems of equations. Be sure to find the point(x,y) where they would meet if they do. 1/3x + 1/2y = o
1/2x + 1/5y = 11/5

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Multiply the first equation by 6,
2x%2B3y=0
Multiply the second equation by 20,
10x%2B4y=44
From eq. 1,
10x%2B15y=0
10x=-15y
So substituting into the second equation,
-15y%2B4y=44
-11y=44
Solve for y then use either equation to solve for x.
