Answer:
X=7 1/3, y=0
Step-by-step explanation:
1) 1.5x+2y=11 --> 3x+4y=22
2) 3x+6y=22
Subtract 1) from 2)
2y=0
y=0
Plug into 2)
3x+6*0=22
3x=22
x=7 1/3
Answer:
x=22/3,y=0
Step-by-step explanation:
First, multiply the first equation by 3 so you have matching terms on the top and on the bottom.
3(1.5x+2y=11)
4.5x+6y=33
Then, subtract the two equations.
4.5x+6y=33
-(3x+6y=22)
4.5x-3y+6y-6y=33-22
1.5x=11
x = 11/1.5 or 22/3
Then, plug this back in to find the y value.
1.5(22/3)+2y=11
33/3+2y=11
11+2y=11
2y=0
y=0
