x=5-\frac{5}{4}y
Solve 4x+5y=20 for x.
3\left(5-\frac{5}{4}y\right)-5y=15 2\left(5-\frac{5}{4}y\right)+3y=a
Substitute 5-\frac{5}{4}y for x in the second and third equation.
y=0 a=10+\frac{1}{2}y
Solve these equations for y and a respectively.
a=10+\frac{1}{2}\times 0
Substitute 0 for y in the equation a=10+\frac{1}{2}y.
a=10
Calculate a from a=10+\frac{1}{2}\times 0.
x=5-\frac{5}{4}\times 0
Substitute 0 for y in the equation x=5-\frac{5}{4}y.
x=5
Calculate x from x=5-\frac{5}{4}\times 0.
x=5 y=0 a=10
The system is now solved.
