Answer:
x = [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex] , y = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
5x + y = 7 → (1)
20x + 2 = y → (2)
Substitute y = 20x + 2 into (1)
5x + 20x + 2 = 7
25x + 2 = 7 ( subtract 2 from both sides )
25x = 5 ( divide both sides by 25 )
x = [tex]\frac{5}{25}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex]
Substitute this value into (2) and evaluate
20([tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex] ) + 2 = y
4 + 2 = y , so
y = 6
