Answer:
option D
D. x = 5, y = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given in the question two equation,
Equation 1
5.3x + y = 28.5
Equation 2
4.2x + 3.1y = 27.2
rearrange equation 1 in terms of y
y = 28.5 - 5.3x
Substitute the value of y in equation 2
<h3>4.2x + 3.1(28.5 - 5.3x) = 27.2</h3>
4.2x + 88.35 - 16.43x = 27.2
4.2x - 16.43x = 27.2 - 88.35
-12.23x = -61.15
x = 61.15/12.23
x = 5
put value of x in any of the equation
<h3>5.3(5) + y = 28.5</h3>
y = 28.5 - 26.5
y = 2
[ Answer ]
[ Explanation ]
-------------------------------------
LCM - The smallest number that two or more numbers can evenly fit into
- LCM - What We Know
- 2 & 13 Must Evenly Fit
- Must Be Smallest Number They Both Fit Into
- Multiple Of Two Or More Numbers
The Smallest Number That Both 2 & 13 Evenly Fit Into Is 26
26 ÷ 2 = 13
26 ÷ 13 = 2
The answer would be 98
7+7=14
14•7=98
The first number but it doesn't really matter.
