Question

Solve the system:
3x+6y=51
y=40-5x

Write down your solution here

Answer 1

X=7 y=5
You need to used the second equation and isolate either x or y. It’s your choice. Then, use that and substitute it in for the first equation. Then you will get an integer and substitute it back to the second equation.

Answer 2

x=7 y=5

Explanation:

3x+6(40-5x)=51

3x+240-30x=51

-27x+240=51

-27x=-189

27x=189

x=7

y=40-5(7)

y=40-35

y=5
