Answer:
r=1
Step-by-step explanation:
-7.61 - 4.3r = -8.1r - 3.81
(bring like terms to one side)
-4.3 r = -8.1r -3.81 + 7.61
-4.3r + 8.1 r =-3.81 + 7.61
(consolodate)
3.8r = 3.8
(divide right by # of r)
r = 3.8/3.8
r = 1
So we have the equations:
y - 4x = 2 --- equation 1
5y - 2x = 1 --- equation 2
(equation 2) * 2
10y - 4x = 2 --- equation 3
(equation 2) - (equation 3)
-9y = 0 so y= 0 and thus x = -1/2
Hope that helps!
