Question

Solve the system of equations below. 5.1 – 2y=18 3.x+3y=15

Answer 1

Answer: y= -6.45 and y=5-x

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract 5.1 from both sides.

-2y= 18-5.1

Simplify 18- 5.1 to 12.9

-2y=12.9

Divide both sides by -2

y= - 12.9/2

Simplify 12.9/2 to 6.45

y=-6.45

Factor out the common term 3.

3(x+y)=15

Divide both sides by 3.

x+y =15/3

Simplify 15/3 to 5.

x+y = 5

Sub. x from both sides

y= 5-x
