\

The equations of linear system are $\"\"$ .

\

Rewrite the equation 1: $\"\"$ so that the like terms are arranged in column.

\

Add 4.8x to each side.

\

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$

\

Subtract 1.7y from each side.

\

\

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$ . $\"\"$

\

Since the coefficient of the y - terms in the above two equations $\"\"$ are additive inverse, eliminate these terms by adding the equations.

\

Write the equations in column form and add to eliminate variable y.

\

$\"\"$ . $\"\"$

\

The resultant equation is $\"\"$ and solve it for x.

\

Divide each side by negative 8.4.

\

$\"\"$

\

Cancel common terms.

\

$\"\"$ . $\"\"$

\

Substitute the value of $\"\"$ in equation 2: $\"\"$ and solve for y.

\

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$

\

Subtract 12.8 from each side.

\

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$

\

Divide each side by 1.7.

\

$\"\"$

\

Cancel common terms.

\

$\"\"$ . $\"\"$

\

The solution is $\"\"$ .
