Solve the following system:
{4 x+10 y = 90 | (equation 1)
11 x+5 y = 90 | (equation 2)
Swap equation 1 with equation 2:
{11 x+5 y = 90 | (equation 1)
4 x+10 y = 90 | (equation 2)
Subtract 4/11 × (equation 1) from equation 2:
{11 x+5 y = 90 | (equation 1)
0 x+(90 y)/11 = 630/11 | (equation 2)
Multiply equation 2 by 11/90:
{11 x+5 y = 90 | (equation 1)
0 x+y = 7 | (equation 2)
Subtract 5 × (equation 2) from equation 1:
{11 x+0 y = 55 | (equation 1)
0 x+y = 7 | (equation 2)
Divide equation 1 by 11:
{x+0 y = 5 | (equation 1)
0 x+y = 7 | (equation 2)
Collect results:
Answer: |x = 5                    and                    y = 7

finding x and y, what is 4x+10y and 11x+5y. both are equal to 90.

 

determinant method:

 

x=|9010905||410115|=90|11015|451110=90|10151|90=|10151|=105=5

 

y=|4901190||410115|=90|41111|451110=90|14111|90=|14111|=114=7
