<u>Let's solve this problem step-by-step</u>

<u>Let's set</u>:

   2x + 6y = 36 -- equation 1

   x + 4y = 20 -- equation 2

(equation 2) * 2

   2x + 8y = 40 -- equation 3

(equation 3) - (equation 1)

   2y = 4

   y = 2 -- equation 4

Plug (equation 4)'s value of y into (equation 2)

   x + 4(2) = 20

   x = 20 - 8

   x = 12

<u>Thus x = 12 and y = 2</u>

<u>Let's check, by substituting these values</u>

  2x + 6y = 36\\2(12)+6(2) = 36\\24+12=36\\36=36\\\\x+4y=20\\12+4(2)=20\\12+8=20\\20=20

<u>Answer: x = 12 and y = 2</u>

Hope that helps!

Calculate the amount and the compound interest on Rs 12.000 in 2 years at 10%
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

Amount = p( 1+r/100) ^n

= 12000 ( 1+10/100) ²

= 12000( 10/10+1/10) ²

= 12000( 11/10) ²

= 12000 x 11/10 x 11/10

= 14520 rs.

Compund interest = amount - principal

= 14520 - 12000

= 2520rs.

Next question :- no of men can complete a piece of work in 7 days = 36

Solve the equation for x.<br> 42 + 5x = 41
sweet [91]

Answer:

x= -0.2 or -1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

42+5X=41

Subtract 42 from both sides:

42+5X=41

-42           -42

You are left with:

5x=-1

Now divide 5 by both sides to isolate x:

5x= -1

---    ---

5       5

x=-0.2 or -1/5
