Question 1051154

solve the following system of equation
2.4x-2.7y=9
-0.6x+2.8y=2
<pre>You need to TOTALLY IGNORE solution (If you can call it that) by JOGS/JOSG

Multiply eq (2) by 4 to create eq (3)
Add eqs (3) and (1) to eliminate s and find the value of y.
Substitute value of y into any of the 2 ORIGINAL equations to get the value of x
Correct answer: {{{highlight_green(matrix(2,1, x = 6, y = 2))}}}
Very easy and simple....Nothing complex.
