Question

Choose to eliminate either the x- or y-variable, then write the system of equations s that one variable can be eliminated through subtraction. 2.50x+1.50x=186.50 and x+y=101

Answer 1

I would first multiply by 10 and divide by 5 the first eqn to work with smaller numbers
think that's a typo should be x + y not x + x in first eqn
