Question

3x+16y=6
what is x and y

Answer 1

I need another equation...
The relationship between x and y is x = 2 - 16y/3

Answer 2

\[15x+40y=32\]

Answer 3

Use the value for X that Kira got and plug it into the second equation, then solve.

15(2 - 16y/3) + 40y = 32
30 - 80y + 40y = 32
-40y = 2
y = -1/20

Then plug the value for Y into the first equation.

x = 2 - 16(-1/20)/3
x = 4 2/5

Answer 4

That's 4 and 2/5 or 4.4
