Answer: x = 2.3 and y = 4.1
Step-by-step explanation:
Here the given system of equation,
2x + 3y = 16.9,
5x = y + 7.4
For graphing the lines :
Since the x-intercept and y-intercept of the line 2x + 3y = 16.9 are (8.45,0) and (0,16.9/3) respectively.
Similarly, the x-intercept and y-intercept of the line 5x = y + 7.4 are (1.48,0) and (0,-7.4) respectively.
After plotting the line in the graph (shown below), we found that, the intersection point of the lines is (2.3, 4.1)
Hence, The solution of the given system is x = 2.3 and y = 4.1
