Question

What is the solution to the system of equations below? y= -4/5 x + and y = –30

Answer 1

`x=37.5`

Explanation:

We need to find the solution to the following system of equations:

`y = -(4)/(5) x` and
`y=-30`

By plugging the value of 'y' into the first equation we have that:

`-30 = -(4)/(5) x` ⇒
`30=(4)/(5) x`

Solving for 'x' we have:

`x=37.5`

So, the solution to the system of equation is: (37.5, -30)
