Answer 1

ANSWER:9

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

$x=13,\:y=0$

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate x for 2x-3y=26: $x=\frac{26+3y}{2}$

$\mathrm{Substitute\:}x=\frac{26+3y}{2}$

$\begin{bmatrix}3\cdot \frac{26+3y}{2}-4.6y=39\end{bmatrix}$

$Simplify$

$\begin{bmatrix}39-0.1y=39\end{bmatrix}$

Isolate y for 39-0.1y=39: y=0

$\mathrm{For\:}x=\frac{26+3y}{2}$

$\mathrm{Substitute\:}y=0$

$x=\frac{26+3\cdot \:0}{2}$

$\frac{26+3*0}{2}=13$

$x=13$

$\mathrm{The\:solutions\:to\:the\:system\:of\:equations\:are:}$

$x=13,\:y=0$
