4x + 3y = 54 (1)
3x + 9y = 108 (2)
Multiply (1) by (-3)
-12x - 9y = -162
3x + 9y = 108
---------------------add
-9x = -54
x = 6
plug x = 6 into (1) to find y
4(6) + 3y = 54
24 + 3y = 54
3y = 30
y = 10
Answer
(6 , 10)
Hope it helps.
Answers:
1. P=3
Step by step:
P-5=-2 -move the constant to the right hand side and change its sign
P=-2+5 - calculate the sum
P=3
2. W=-2.8
Step by step:
W+13.2=10.4 - move the constant tot he right hand side and change its sign
W=10.4-13.3 - calculate the difference
W=-2.8
3. X=2/3
Step by step:
X-5/6=-1/6 - move the constant to the rig hand side and change its sign
X=-1/6+5/6 - calculate the sum
X=2/3
