Answer:
x=0.8712, y=1.1818
Step-by-step explanation:
1.2x+1.4y=2.7 --(1)
0.4x-0.3y=0.9--(2)
1.2x=2.7-1.4y
x=(2.7-1.4y) / 1.2 --(3)
substitute (3) in (2)
[tex]0.4(2.7-1.4y) / 1.2 -0.3y=0.9[/tex]
[tex](1.8 - 0.56y) \frac{1}{3} - 0.3y = 0.9[/tex]
times both sides with 1/3
[tex] \frac{1}{3} (1.08 - 0.56y( \frac{1}{3} ) - 0.3y = 0.9)[/tex]
1.08-0.3=0.56y+0.1y
0.78=0.66y
y=1.1818
substitute y in (3)
x=2.7-1.4(1.1818) /1.2
x=0.8712
