First we'll multiply the second equation by -2

Now let's add the new equation and the first one.

We found y's value. We'll plug it in one of the equations to find x's value.

(9, -6)
Answer:
13.008 or 13 1/125 or 1626/125
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
First image: (6, -1)
2nd image: y = 63
Explanation:
1)
2x + y = 11
1/2x - 5y = 8
y = -2x + 11
1/2x - 5(-2x + 11) = 8
1/2x + 10x - 55 = 8
10.5x - 55 = 8
10.5x = 63
x = 6
2x + y = 11
2(6) + y = 11
12 + y = 11
y = -1
(x , y) = (6, -1)
2)
1/4(8y - 4.8) = 2 (0.9y + 5.4) + 3/5
2y - 1.2 = 1.8y + 10.8 + 0.6
0.2y - 1.2 = 11.4
0.2y = 12.6
y = 63
The equation must be 4x + y = 17
I will use the y-intercept slope version
y = - 4x + 17
Then the slope is negative (-4) and the y-intercept is 17.
The line passes through the points (0,17) and (0,17/4). The negative slope indicates that the line goes down from left to right (y decreases when x increases).
