5x + 60y = 35
x +y = 1.5 : rewrite as x = 1.5-y and substitute this formula for x in the first one:
5(1.5-y) + 60y = 35
distribute:
7.5 - 5y + 60y = 35
combine like terms:
7.5 + 55y = 35
subtract 7.5 from both sides:
55y = 27.5
divide both sides by 55 to solve for y
y = 27.5 / 55 = 0.5
now substiute 0.5 for y in the 2nd equation:
x + 0.5 = 1.5
x = 1.5 - 0.5 = 1

Answer: 0.3
Step-by-step explanation:
I'm taking the same final test.
The answer is y= 1/4x - 5
How? Well in this case we are using the formula y= mx + b
Substituting it with the given point (8, -3) and the slope 1/4
it'll look like -3 = 1/4 (8) + b
Next we solve.
-3 = 1/4 (8) + b
-3 = 8/4 + b
-3 = 2 + b
-2 -3 = b
-5 = b
so we now we know that b = -5.
All we have to do is substitute that into the equation to get our final answer (this time, without the point 8,-3).
Our answer in the end is y = 1/4x -5
the answer is 72
