2/5x - 1/5y = 98
2/7x - 1/14y = 55
If the ordered pair (x, y) satisfies the system of
equations shown above, what is the value of x?

Sagot :

Answer:

x = 140

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equations

[tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex] x - [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex] y = 98 ( multiply through by 5 to clear the fractions )

2x - y = 490 → (1)

[tex]\frac{2}{7}[/tex] x - [tex]\frac{1}{14}[/tex] y = 55 ( multiply through by 14 to clear the fractions )

4x - y = 770 → (2)

Subtract (1) from (2) term by term to eliminate y

2x + 0 = 280

2x = 280 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 140
