Identify Equations: Identify the system of equations to solve.We have two equations: 2x+3y=100 and 5y−25=5.We will solve this system using the substitution or elimination method.
Solve Second Equation: Solve the second equation for y. 5y−25=5 Add 25 to both sides: 5y=5+25 Divide both sides by 5: y=30/5 Simplify: y=6
Substitute and Calculate: Substitute y=6 into the first equation.2x+3(6)=100 Calculate: 2x+18=100 Subtract 18 from both sides: 2x=100−18 Simplify: 2x=82
Solve for x: Solve for x.Divide both sides by 2: x=282Simplify: x=41
Check Solution: Check the solution in both original equations.First equation: 2(41)+3(6)=100Calculate: 82+18=100Verify: 100=100
