Question

2X+2Y=48 3X+Y=40 What is X and Y

Answer 1

Answer:

x=8

y=16

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+2y=48

3x+y=40

Ther is many ways to solve this, one of them is clearance:

WE CLEAR AN UNLOCKED (X) AND REPLACE IT IN THE OTHER

x= (40-y)/3

2[(40-y)/3] +2y=48

(80-2y)/3 +2y=48

(80-2y+6y)/3=48

80+4y=48(3)

4y=144

y= 144/4

y=16

x=(40-y)/3

x=(40-16)/3

x=24/3

x=8
