Answer:
y = 1.7
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : 5x+2y=7 and - 2x+6=9.
To find : Solve the following system of equations. Enter the y-coordinate of the solution. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.
Solution : We have given
5x + 2y = 7 --------(1)
- 2x + 6y = 9 -------(2).
To make the y coefficient same multiply the equation 1 by 3.
15 x + 6y = 21 .
(+)-2x +(-) 6y = (-)9 .
______________ ( On subtracting both the equations )
17 x + 0 = 12 .
17 x = 12 .
On dividing both sides by 17
x = [tex]\frac{12}{17}[/tex].
x = 0.705
Plug x = 0.705 in equation 2 .
- 2 ( 0.705) + 6y = 9.
-1.41 + 6y = 9 .
On adding both sides by 1.41.
6y = 9 + 1.41
6 y = 10. 41
On dividing both sides by 6.
y = [tex]\frac{10.41}{6}[/tex].
y = 1.735.
Nearest tenth = 1.7
Therefore, y = 1.7.
