The solution of this system of equations is :
x=y=60
To solve the system of equations, we have:
x+y=120
2x+21y=150
To solve for x and y, we can use substitution or elimination. Let's use the substitution method.
First, solve the first equation for y:
y=120−x
Now substitute this expression for y into the second equation:
2x+21(120−x)=150
Simplify and solve for x:
2x+60−21x=150
Combine like terms:
24x−2x+60=150
23x+60=150
Subtract 60 from both sides:
23x=90
Multiply both sides by 2 to solve for x:
3x=180
Divide both sides by 3:
x=60
Now substitute x=60 back into the expression for y:
y=120−60=60
Therefore, the solution to the system of equations is x=60 and y=60.
Let's check this result :
x+y=60+60=120
2x+21y=2×60+260=120
