2x + 5y = 34

x+2y = 14


Multiply the second equation by two to create like terms for one variable.

2(x+2y = 14)

2x + 4y = 28


2x + 5y = 34

2x + 4y = 28 -- Subtract.


y = 34.28 = 6


Solve for x


x + 2(6) = 14

x + 12 = 14

x = 2


Check:

2 + 2(6) = 14

2 + 12 = 14

14 = 14


Answer:

X = 2

Y = 6

dimaraw [331]

Answer:

<h2>11.11 square yard </h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data

charges=$90

installation=$9 per square yard

total cost of installation= $810

let x represents the number of square feet

Step two:

The expression for the installation cost is given as

810=9x+90------------1

solve for x, collect like terms

810-90=9x

720=9x

divide both sides by 9 we have

x=720/9
