Question 1170412: Good day may you please help me with the following question.
solve the following pair of simultaneous equations.
3/5x - 4y = -1
0.8x - 3.5y = 1/2 Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! clear fractions
multiply top by 5
3x-20y=-5 bottom by 10
8x-35y=5
top by -8. want to eliminate one of the variables. I will do x, but top by 7 and bottom by -4 will eliminate y
-24x+160y=40 bottom by 3
24x-105y=15 add
55y=55
y=1
x=5
(5, 1)
