i have no brain now, give me a min.

anonymous · Answer

So far I changed it to 
$$5x+10y=1750$$
$$2x+3y=600$$

By multiplying the second equation by 6, but I don't know what to do now.

anonymous · Answer

sorry, 5

anonymous · Answer

I am confused guys, so you want me to divide the first equation by 5?

anonymous · Answer

yep

anonymous · Answer

the 5x+10y

anonymous · Answer

OK, so it would be
x+2y=350
2x+3y=600

anonymous · Answer

yes, now multiply your first equation by 2 so you can eliminate x to solve.

anonymous · Answer

2x+4y=700
2x+3y=600

4y+3y=600+700

7y=1300

y=1300/7

anonymous · Answer

wait!
2x+4y=700
2x+3y=600
When eliminating, you minus it to get rid of the x.
so you have
4y-3y=600+700

y=1300
now solve for x

anonymous · Answer

So, instead of adding 4y and 3y, I subtract them?

And actually I already finished the problem correctly somehow, the answer was x=150 and y=100
I am still just trying to figure out the steps of how to solve.

anonymous · Answer

sorry, i made a mistake:
2x+4y=700
2x+3y=600

4y-3y=700-600

y=100

anonymous · Answer

yes, you subtract to eliminate x. How else would you do it. but to eliminate x (or y) the numbers have to be same.
