y = 8 -2x
x + 2 (8 - 2x) = 1
x + 16 - 4x = 1
x - 4x = -15
-3x = -15
x = 5
If x = 5, then we can substitute in...
5 + 2y = 1
2y = -4
y = -2
Now let us check that by substituting those values in to the equation
2x + y = 8
2 (5) + (-2) = 8
That is correct so we have the right values for x and y/
We know that the bottle of soft drink has a remaining
volume which is 2 / 3 of the original.
Since Jack drank 1 / 4 of the remaining volume, hence only
3 / 4 now finally remains, the total is:
(2 / 3) * (3 / 4) = 6 / 12 = 1 / 2
<span>Hence the bottle is now one half full</span>
Answer:(a=5,b=3)
7a-3b = 26--------(1)
a + 2b =11---------(2)
on mutlplying by7 in eq 2
= 7a+14b=77-------(3)
from eq(1) and (3) (on substracting)
7a+14b=77
7a-3b=26
________
=-17b=51
b=51/17
b=3
on putting value of b in eq 1
7a-3b = 26
=7a-9=26
7a=35
a=5
