If you call 
 the mass of the ant and 
 the load, we have the equation

In fact, the mass of the ant is one tenth of the load, which is exactly what this equation states.
Since we are given the load, we simply need to plug its value in the equation to deduce the mass of the ant:

 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
x=10
y=-3
Step-by-step explanation:
3x + 5y= 15...eqn. 1
2x + 4y= 8...eqn. 2
multiply eqn. 1 by 2 and eqn. 2 by 3
6x + 10y = 30...eqn. 3
<u>6x</u><u> </u><u>+</u><u> </u><u>12y</u><u> </u><u>=</u><u> </u><u>24...eqn. 4</u>
0 - 2y = 6
divide both sides by the coefficient of y which is -2
<u>- 2y</u> = <u>6</u>
- 2 -2
 y= -3
Put y= -3 into eqn. 1 
3x + 5(-3) = 15
3x - 15 = 15
3x =15 + 15
<u>3x</u> =<u> 30</u>
3 3
x = 10
 Therefore X= 10 and Y= -3
