Question

NEED HALP!!! Find the ordered pair $(s,t)$ that satisfies the system

Answer 1

Answer:

(-8/7 ; 5/7)

Step-by-step explanation:

5t + 1/2s = 3 - - - (1)

3t - 6s = 9 - - - - - (2)

Multiply (1) by 12 and (2) by 1

Add the result to eliminate s

60t + 6s = 36

3t - 6s = 9

____________

63t = 45

t = 45 / 63

t = 5/7

Put t = 5/7 in either (1) or (2) to obtain the value of s

3(5/7) - 6s = 9

15/7 - 6s = 9

-6s = 9 - 15/7

-6s = (63 - 15)/7

-6s = 48/7

s = 48/7 * - 1/6

s = - 8/7
