Question 1111653
Brick layers	x	wage									
roofers	y	wage									
Equation for tickets	condition I										
											
8	x	+	2	y	=	1260	.............1				
											
Equation for amount spent											
10	x	+	5	y	=	1950	.............2				
Eliminate y											
multiply (1)by		-5.00									
Multiply (2) by		2									
-40.00	x		-10.00	y	=	-6300.00					
20.00			10.00	y	=	3900.00					
Add the two equations											
-20.00	x				=	-2400.00					
/	-20.00										
x	=	120.00									
plug value of			x	in (1)							
8.00	x	+	2.00	y	=	1260.00					
960.00		+	2.00	y	=	1260.00					
			2.00	y	=	300.00					
				y=		150.00					
											
Brick layers	120.00	wage									
roofers	300.00	wage
