\left \{ {{ \frac{3}{8}x+ \frac{1}{3}y  = \frac{17}{14} } \atop {x+7y=8}} \right.

To solve this system by substitution, first isolate x in the second equation.

x+7y=8
x+7y-7y=8-7y
x=8-7y

Now, plug this expression (8-7y) for x in the top equation to solve for y.

\frac{3}{8} (8-7y)+ \frac{1}{3} y= \frac{17}{14}
3- \frac{21}{8} y+ \frac{1}{3} y= \frac{17}{24}
72-63y+8y=17
72-55y=17
-55y=17-72
-55y=-55
y=1

Now that you have y, plug it into the second equation and solve for x.

x+7y=8
x+7(1)=8
x+7=8
x=1

Last step is to plug your x- and y-values in to both equations to check your work.

\frac{3}{8} (1)+ \frac{1}{3} y= \frac{17}{24}

\frac{3}{8} * \frac{3}{3} = \frac{9}{24} ;  \frac{1}{3} * \frac{8}{8} = \frac{8}{24}

\frac{9}{24} + \frac{8}{24} = \frac{17}{24}  <--True

1+7(1)=8
1+7=8   <--True

Answer:
x=1 \\ y=1

77julia77 [94]

Answer:

$127.45

Step-by-step explanation:

First, subtract 450 from 3,508.80:

3,508.80 - 450 = 3058.8

Then, divide this by 24 to find the monthly payment:

3058.8/24

= 127.45

So, the monthly payment was $127.45
