Not sure how to solve this problem???
X + y = 150
.30x + .60=75
Start with your bottom equation and isolate the x by itself on one side:
x=248
248+y=150
y=??
To solve this problem, we need to find the values of x and y that satisfy both equations. Let's start by solving the first equation, X + y = 150.
To isolate y, we can subtract x from both sides:
y = 150 - x
Now, let's substitute this value of y into the second equation to solve for x. The second equation is 0.30x + 0.60 = 75.
Subtract 0.60 from both sides:
0.30x = 75 - 0.60
0.30x = 74.40
Divide both sides by 0.30 to isolate x:
x = 74.40 / 0.30
x = 248
Now that we have the value of x, we can substitute it back into the first equation to find y:
y = 150 - x
y = 150 - 248
y = -98
So, the solution to the system of equations is x = 248 and y = -98.
