Answer:
x = 1\2 and y = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
8x + 3y = 4 * 5\3
14x - 5y = 7 * 1
40\3x + 5y = 20\3 -------- 1
14x - 5y = 7 ----------------- 2
add equation 1 and 2
82\3x = 41\3
x = <u>4</u><u>1</u><u> </u> <u>3</u>
3 * 82
x = 1\2
subtitute 1\2 for x in equation 2
14\2 - 5y = 7
7 - 5y = 7
5y = 7 - 7
y = 0\5
y = 0
thus x = 1\2 and y = 0

It's a simultaneous equation:
Steps:
1.Number the equations..
a+b=77 -1
a-b=13 -2
2. Choose what variable you want to use. In this case I would use the "b". Since the signs in front of the "b's" are different, add the two equations together
a + b = 77
+ + +
a (-b) = 13
Which gives;
2a = 90
Then solve to find a:
2a=90
a= 90/2
a=45
3.Then plug the "a" value into any of the original equations to find the "b" value. I would use equation 1 since the all the variables are positive.
a + b = 77
(45) + b = 77
b=77-45
b=32
4.Solution
a=45
b=32
C because there are 60 seconds in a minute so if you multiply 600 x 60 you get 36000
