Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

1,4.7

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 179

2/3x + 3/4y = 128

^ these are the equations

x + y = 179 -multiply by 3

2/3x + 3/4y = 128-multiply by -4

--

3x + 3y = 537 (result of multiplying by 3)

-8/3x - 3y = -512 (result of multiplying by -4)

--add

1/3x = 25

x = 25 * 3

x = 75

--

x + y = 179

75 + y = 179

y = 179 - 75

y = 104

(is this better?)
