<u>Answer</u>:
x = 7, y = 2
<u>Explanation</u>:
equations given:
x + 7y = 21
x + 4y = 15
make "x" the subject:
x + 7y = 21
x = 21 - 7y .........equation 1
x + 4y = 15
x = 15 - 4y .......equation 2
Solving both the equations simultaneously:
15 - 4y = 21 - 7y
-4y + 7y = 21 - 15
3y = 6
y = 6 ÷ 3
y = 2
If y is 2
Then x = 21 -7y;
x = 21 - 7(2)
x = 21 - 14
x = 7
You need to multiply 1 and 5 plus 2.
and for 5 2/7 it would be 5 times 7 plus 2.
So...
5 2/7= 37/7
1 2/5= 7/5
