Answer:

Let's solve your system by elimination.

3x+4y=29;6x+5y=43

Multiply the first equation by -2,and multiply the second equation by 1.

−2(3x+4y=29)

1(6x+5y=43)

Becomes:

−6x−8y=−58

6x+5y=43

Add these equations to eliminate x:

−3y=−15

Then solve−3y=−15for y:

−3y=−15

−3y −3 = −15

−3

(Divide both sides by -3)

y=5

Now that we've found y let's plug it back in to solve for x.

Write down an original equation:

3x+4y=29

Substitute5foryin3x+4y=29:

3x+(4)(5)=29

3x+20=29(Simplify both sides of the equation)

3x+20+−20=29+−20(Add -20 to both sides)

3x=9

3x 3 = 9

(Divide both sides by 3)

x=3

Answer:

x=3 and y=5

A farm had 480 acres more wheat than corn. After the farmers collected 80% of the wheat and 25% of the corn, the area of the whe

Sergio [31]

The area covered by corn is x
The area covered by wheat is (x+480)
After 80% of wheat was collected, the new area was:
20/10(x+480)
=1/5(x+480)
After 25% of the corn was collected, the new area was:
75/100x
=3/4x
New area equation will be:
(3/4)x=1/5(x+480)+300
(3/4x)=(1/5)x+96+300
solving for x we get:
11/20x=396
x=720
thus the original area of corn was 720 acres
Original area of wheat was 720+480=1200 acres
