Answer 1

x + y = 204
10x + 14y = 11(204)

Answer 2

so solve for x and y?

Answer 3

of course

Answer 4

am i multiplying the whole equation by 204 or just 11?

Answer 5

you multiply 11*204

Answer 6

ok that is what i thought.

Answer 7

11 x 204 = 11*204 = 11(204)

Answer 8

It's all the same

Answer 9

2244... ok moving on lol

Answer 10

so 10x+14y=2244... now i divide or what?

Answer 11

no, you solve the first equation for y, then substitute

Answer 12

y = 204 - x

Answer 13

oh ok...

Answer 14

?? Did you give up?

Answer 15

no i was just trying to solve some other problems and get them done

Answer 16

x + y = 204
10x + 14y = 2244

y = 204 - x

10x + 14(204 - x) = 2244
10x + 2856 - 14x = 2244
-4x + 2856 = 2244

4x = 612

x = 612/4

x = 153
y = 204 - 153 = 51

(153,51)
