Question

36 =x-550 y, 44= x-450y find the value of x and y

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 80, y = 2/25.

Step-by-step explanation:

subtract as below:

x - 550y = 36

x - 450y = 44

-  +            -

--------------------

- 100y = - 8

=> y = - 8/ - 100 = 2/25.

Now to get value of x,

x - 450 * 2/25 = 44

x = 44 + 36 = 80.
