It looks like your equations are

7M - 2t = -30

5t - 12M = 115

<u>Solving by substitution</u>

Solve either equation for one variable. For example,

7M - 2t = -30   ⇒   t = (7M + 30)/2

Substitute this into the other equation and solve for M.

5 × (7M + 30)/2 - 12M = 115

5 (7M + 30) - 24M = 230

35M + 150 - 24M = 230

11M = 80

M = 80/11

Now solve for t.

t = (7 × (80/11) + 30)/2

t = (560/11 + 30)/2

t = (890/11)/2

t = 445/11

<u>Solving by elimination</u>

Multiply both equations by an appropriate factor to make the coefficients of one of the variables sum to zero. For example,

7M - 2t = -30   ⇒   -10t + 35M = -150 … (multiply by 5)

5t - 12M = 115   ⇒   10t - 24M = 230 … (multiply by 2)

Now combining the equations eliminates the t terms, and

(-10t + 35M) + (10t - 24M) = -150 + 230

11M = 80

M = 80/11

It follows that

7 × (80/11) - 2t = -30

560/11 - 2t = -30

2t = 890/11

t = 445/11
