Question 1099877: Chains support a​ crate, as shown on the right. The equations relating tensions Upper T1 and Upper T2 are given below. Determine the tensions to the nearest 1N from the graph.
0.6T1-0.4T2=16
0.4T1+0.6T2=64
What is the solution to T1 and T2? (round to the nearest whole number as needed)

6T%5B1%5D-4T%5B2%5D=160
4T%5B1%5D%2B6T%5B2%5D=640
Multiply eq. 1 by 6 and eq. 2 by 4 and add them together,
36T%5B1%5D-24T%5B2%5D%2B16T%5B1%5D%2B24T%5B2%5D=960%2B2560
52T%5B1%5D=3520
Solve for T%5B1%5D,then use either equation to solve for T%5B2%5D
