The solution of this system of equations is :

x=y=60x=y=60


To solve the system of equations, we have:

  1. x+y=120x + y = 120

  2. 2x+12y=1502x + \frac{1}{2}y = 150

To solve for xx and yy, we can use substitution or elimination. Let's use the substitution method.

First, solve the first equation for yy:

y=120xy = 120 - x

Now substitute this expression for yy into the second equation:

2x+12(120x)=1502x + \frac{1}{2}(120 - x) = 150

Simplify and solve for xx:

2x+6012x=1502x + 60 - \frac{1}{2}x = 150

Combine like terms:

4x2x2+60=150\frac{4x}{2} - \frac{x}{2} + 60 = 150

3x2+60=150\frac{3x}{2} + 60 = 150

Subtract 60 from both sides:

3x2=90\frac{3x}{2} = 90

Multiply both sides by 2 to solve for xx:

3x=1803x = 180

Divide both sides by 3:

x=60x = 60

Now substitute x=60x = 60 back into the expression for yy:

y=12060=60y = 120 - 60 = 60

Therefore, the solution to the system of equations is x=60x = 60 and y=60y = 60.

Let's check this result :

x+y=60+60=120x + y = 60+60=120
2x+12y=2×60+602=1202x + \frac{1}{2}y = 2\times60 + \frac{60}{2} = 120
