Answer: (-20,-4)
First, you substitute y into the first equation to get 0.01x - 0.3(0.1x - 2) = 1
You then distribute the 0.3 to what is inside the parentheses to get 0.01x-0.03x+0.6=1
(Note: the 0.6 is positive because two negatives multiplied equal a positive)
Now you combine like terms to get -0.02x+0.6=1
Subtract 0.6 from both sides of the equal sign to get -0.02x=0.4
Divide each side by -0.02 to get x=-20
Now plug in -20 to y=0.1x-2 to get y=-4
This gives you the answer (-20,-4)
Answer:
X=6.1
Step-by-step explanation:
x-5=0.1(x+5)
x-5=0.1x+0.5 (distribute 0.1)
x=0.1x+0.5+5 (add 5 to each side)
x-0.1x=5.5 (subtract 0.1x from each side)
0.9x=5.5 (combine like terms)
x=5.5/0.9 (divide by 0.9 on both sides)
x=6.1 (simplify)
