62.069% is what i thank it is
8x + 6y = 10 ----------- (1)
5x - 3y = 2.2 ---------- (2)
(2) x 2:
10 x - 6y = 4.4 --------(2a)
(2a) + (1)
18x = 14.4
x = 1.8 ------- sub into (1)
8 (1.8) + 6y = 10
14.4 + 6y = 10
6y = 10 - 14.4
6y = - 4.4
y = - 0.73
There is 1 set of solution to it. (Answer C)
Solution:
Using Substitution Method:
-4x+7y=-5 (Equation 1)
x-3y=-5 (Equation 2)
get the value of x from Equation 2
x=3y-5 (Equation 3)
Put the value of x from Equation 3 in Equation 1
-4(3y-5)+7y=-5
-4(3y)+20+7y=-5
-12y+7y=-5-20
-5y=-25
Negative sign on both sides cancels each other
y=25/5
y=5
Putting value of y in equation 3
x=3(5)-5
x=15-5
x=10
Therefore, [x,y]=[10,5]
Using Elimination Method
-4x+7y=-5 (Equation 1)
x-3y=-5 (Equation 2)
Multiply equation 2 with -4 in order to eliminate the x term
-4(x-3y)=-5*4
-4x+12y=20 (Equation 3)
Adding Equation 1 and 3
-4x+7y=-5
-4x+12y=20
+ - = - (Change Of Sign with x and y terms)
-----------------
0x-5y = -25
-5y=-25
y=5
Substituting y’s value is Equation 1
-4x+7(5)=-5
-4x+35=-5
-4x=-40
Cancellation of negative sign on both sides
x=40/4
x=10
[x,y]=[10,5]
