The system of equations are .
Neither variable has a common coefficient.The coefficient of the x - variables are 0.2 and 1 and their least common multiple is 0.2, so multiply each equation by the value that will make the x - coefficient 0.2.
\To get two equations that contain opposite terms multiply the second equation by negative 0.2.
\Write the equations in column form and add the corresponding columns to eliminate x - variable.
\The resultant equation is and solve for y.
Divide each side by .
Cancel common terms.
\.
Substitute the value of in either of the original equations and solve for x.
The second equation: .
Add 9 to each side.
\.
The solution is .
