Accepted Solution

A:

 Solve for yy in 2x+y=202x+y=20How?
y=20-2xy=20−2x
 Substitute y=20-2xy=20−2x into -5y=-6x+12−5y=−6x+12How?
-5(20-2x)=-6x+12−5(20−2x)=−6x+12

 Solve for xx in -5(20-2x)=-6x+12−5(20−2x)=−6x+12How?
x=7x=7

 Substitute x=7x=7 into y=20-2xy=20−2xHow?
y=6y=6
 Therefore,
x=7x=7
y=6y=6
