Question

Find the value of x for the following system of equations. 6x - 6y = 5 16 - 3x = y -85/101

Answer 1

Answer:

$x=\frac{101}{24}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$6x-6y=5$ -----> equation A

$16-3x=y$ ----> equation B

solve the system by substitution

substitute equation B in equation A

$6x-6(16-3x)=5$

solve for x

$6x-96+18x=5$

$6x+18x=5+96$

$24x=101$

$x=\frac{101}{24}$
