Answer:

x = 25.35 (or 2129/84) and y = 4334.04 (or 121353/28)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equations are set up and ready to go with substitution. Simply just plug in the first equation to the second equation as both are equal to y.

Step 1: Replace y in <em>y = 87x + 2129 </em>with <em>171x</em>

171x = 87x + 2129

Step 2: Subtract 87 x on both sides

84x = 2129

Step 3: Divide both sides by 84 to get x

x = 2129/84 or 25.35 (rounded)

To get y, simply plug in x into one of the 2 original equations. In this case, I will use the first equation:

y = 171 (25.35)

y = 121353/28 or 4334.04 (rounded)

You can check your work by plugging both solutions into the calculator and see if they equal each other. The values for these answers are solely based on the equations, so if you write the <em>equations </em>wrong themselves, then that means you have the values wrong as well.

Help plz and teach me how to answer
horrorfan [7]
Helen subtracted 17 from the right side of the equation when she should have added 17. Adding 17 to both sides would have gotten x/y by itself.

The answer is 'Helen should have added 17 to both sides of the equation'.
