Answer:
y = 1.5, x = [tex]1\frac{12}{13}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The given simultaneous equation system is;
-1 - 2·y = -4...(1)
13·x + 2·y = 28...(2)
By elimination method, we have;
From equation (1);
-1 - 2·y = -4
2·y = 4 - 1 = 3
y = 3/2 = 1.5
y = 1.5
We eliminate 'y' from equation (2) by replacing the value of 'y' with 1.5 as follows;
13·x + 2·y = 28
y = 1.5
∴ 13·x + 2 × 1.5 = 28
13·x = 28 - 3 = 25
x = 25/13 = [tex]1\frac{12}{13}[/tex] = [tex]1.\overline{923076}[/tex]
x = [tex]1\frac{12}{13}[/tex]
