You cannot eliminate x and end up with two different equations.

5x+3y=9.. B

2x-4=40...A

Solve A for x.

2x - 4 = 40

2x = 40 + 4

2x = 44

x = 44/2

x = 22

The only thing I can think of doing is to plug 22 into B.

5(22) + 2y = 9

110 + 2y = 9...This leads to an answer for y.

No two NEW EQUATIONS is possible.

2y = 9 - 110

2y = -101

y = -101/2

Check your question again.

Paul is going to have the exterior of his home painted. Painting USA charges $75.00 to come out and evaluate the house plus $25.

user100 [1]

Given:$75
25 hours

Painting USA : Fixed cost: $75 ; Variable Cost: $25x
Total Cost = 75 + 25(25) = 75 + 625 = 700

Upscale Home Painting: No Fixed Cost ; Variable Cost : $40x
Total Cost = 40(25) = 1,000

The most cost effective company will be Painting USA whose charge will amount to $700.
