\

Elimination Method:

\

The system of equations are

\

$\"\"$ Equation (1)

\

$\"\"$ Equation (2)

\

Neither variable has a common coefficient.The coefficient of the y - variables are 6.83 and 2.68, To make the y - coefficient same multiply equation(1) by 2.68 and equation(2) by 6.83. $\"\"$

\

Add the equations to elimante y- variable.

\

Write the equations in column form and add the corresponding columns.

\

$\"\"$

\

Apply division property of equality: Divide each side by negative 272.297.

\

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$ (Cancel common terms)

\

$\"\"$

\

Now, find the y value by substituting $\"\"$ in $\"\"$ .

\

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$ (Multiply: $\"\"$ ) $\"\"$

\

Apply subtraction property of equality: Subtract 66.08 to each side.

\

$\"\"$

\

Rearrange the terms using commutative property of addition: a + b = b + a.

\

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$ (Apply additive inverse property: $\"\"$ )

\

$\"\"$ (Apply additive identity property: $\"\"$ )

\

$\"\"$ (Subtract: $\"\"$ )

\

$\"\"$ (Divide each side by negative 2.68)

\

$\"\"$ (Cancel common terms)

\

$\"\"$

\

The system of solution is $\"\"$ .
