Question

Solve for x and y:

0.3x+0.5y=0.5,0.5x+0.7y=0.74.

Open in App
Solution

0.5x+0.7y=0.74 ......eqn 1

0.3x+0.5y=0.5 ....... eqn 2

multiplying 0.5 in eqn 1 & 0.7 in eqn 2 and subtracting both,

0.25x+0.35y=0.37


0.21x+0.35y=0.35

After subtract we get
0.04x=0.02


so,x=24


x=12


x=0.5


putting x=0.5 in eqn 1


0.25+0.7y=0.74


0.7y=0.49


y=0.7


so x=0.5,y=0.7
