I solved it and got 388.21
I think it would be 20
but am not sure
So, the subtraction looks like this:
223
-119
_______
The reason why combining place values here is necessary is that 3 is less than 9 (so I can't just substract in the one's place without going to negative numbers)
so we combine the ones and tens places and substract the whole: 23-19 is four!
223
-119
_______
04
and then we continue
223
-119
_______
204
and that's the result!
Step-by-step explanation:
37x + 41y = 70 --- R¹
41x + 37y = 86 --- R²
R¹ + R² : 78x + 78y = 156
78(x + y) = 156
x + y = 2 --- R³
R¹ - R² : -4x + 4y = -16
4(y - x) = -16
y - x = -4 --- R⁴
R³ + R⁴ : 2y = -2
y = -1
R³ - R⁴ : -2x = -6
x = 3
