Answer:
x=1/4
y=1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
-2.4x+3.6y=1.2
2.4x + 1.2y=1.2
-2.4x+3.6y=1.2
Divide through by 1.2
-2x+3y=1
2.4x + 1.2y=1.2
Divide through by 1.2
2x+y=1
-2x+3y=1 (1)
2x+y=1 (2)
From 2
y=1-2x
Substitute y=1-2x into (1)
-2x+3y=1
-2x+3(1-2x)=1
-2x+3-6x=1
-8x=1-3
-8x=-2
Divide both sides by -8
x=1/4
Substitute x=1/4 into (2)
2x+y=1
2(1/4)+y=1
2/4+y=1
1/2+y=1
y=1-1/2
y=1/2
x=1/4
y=1/2
