solve the system using elimination subsitution or matrix met
solve the system, using elimination, subsitution, or matrix methods.
7/3x + 5/4y = 4
10x-5y=42
Solution
(7/3)x + (5/4)y = 4-->(1)
10x-5y=42
=>2x-y =42/5
=>y =2x -(42/5) ------>(2)
substitute (2) in (1)
(7/3)x + (5/4)(2x -(42/5)) = 4
(7/3)x + (5/4)2x -((5/4)(42/5)) = 4
(7/3)x + (5/2)x = 4+(21/2)
x((7*2)+(3*5))/(3*2) =(8+21)/2
x*29/6 =29/2
x =(29/2)*(29/6)
x =3
put x =3 in (2)
y =2*3 -(42/5)
y=(30-42)/5
y =-12/5
x =3, y =-12/5 is the solution by substitution method
