[tex]\boxed{\sf \ \ \ x = 1 \ \ , \ \ y = 1 \ \ \ }[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
hello
we can multiply by 10 both parts of the equations so this is equivalent to
(1) 15x + 8y = 23
(2) 3x - 2y = 1
and we are asked to use the method of substitution
from (2) we can write 3x = 2y + 1
and we substitute 3x in (1) as 15x = 5*3x it comes
5*(2y+1) + 8y = 23
<=> 10y + 5 + 8y = 23
<=> 18y + 5 = 23 let's subtract 5
<=> 18y = 23 - 5 = 18 let's divide by 18
<=> y = 1
and finally replace y in 3x = 2y + 1
3x = 2*1 + 1 = 3 <=> x = 1 (divide by 3)
so the solution is x = 1, y = 1
hope this helps
Answer:
(1,1)
Step-by-step explanation:
1.5x + 0.8y = 2.3
0.3x − 0.2y = 0.1
I'm going to multiply both of these equations by 10, so we can work with whole numbers.
15x+8y=23
3x-2y=1
We can simplify one of the equations to isolate a variable.
I'm going to isolate y in equation 2.
3x-2y=1
Subtract 3x from both sides.
-2y=-3x+1
Divide both sides by -2.
y=1.5x-0.5
Plug 1.5x-0.5 into the first equation for y.
15x+8(1.5x-0.5)=23
Distribute.
15x+12x-4=23
Combine like terms.
27x-4=23
Add 4 to both sides.
27x=27
Divide both sides by 27.
x=1
Plug that back into original equation to find y.
15(1)+8y=23
15+8y=23
Subtract 15 from both sides.
8y=8
Divide both sides by 8.
y=1
The solution to the system is (1,1).
