0.4y+0.5y=1

What is the order pair?

anonymous · Answer

The equations right? Would think the bottom one would need an x somewhere...

anonymous · Answer

Well you need to either get "x" or "y" alike so they can cancel

anonymous · Answer

0.4 is x sorry

anonymous · Answer

Ok so do what ebezzy said. Try multiplying the equations by a constant i.e a number so you can get either x or y to cancel when you add them.

0.4(0.3x-0.2y)=4 =                    (0.12x-0.8y)= 1.6
-0.3(0.4y+0.5y)=1=                   (-0.12-0.15y)=-0.30
                                                             -.95y=1.3  so y = -1.3 now solve for x
