904x+909y=810000,4x+10y=0
To solve a pair of equations using substitution, first solve one of the equations for one of the variables. Then substitute the result for that variable in the other equation.
904x+909y=810000
Choose one of the equations and solve it for x by isolating x on the left hand side of the equal sign.
904x=-909y+810000
Subtract 909y from both sides of the equation.
x=\frac{1}{904}\left(-909y+810000\right)
Divide both sides by 904.
x=-\frac{909}{904}y+\frac{101250}{113}
Multiply \frac{1}{904} times -909y+810000.
4\left(-\frac{909}{904}y+\frac{101250}{113}\right)+10y=0
Substitute -\frac{909y}{904}+\frac{101250}{113} for x in the other equation, 4x+10y=0.
-\frac{909}{226}y+\frac{405000}{113}+10y=0
Multiply 4 times -\frac{909y}{904}+\frac{101250}{113}.
\frac{1351}{226}y+\frac{405000}{113}=0
Add -\frac{909y}{226} to 10y.
\frac{1351}{226}y=-\frac{405000}{113}
Subtract \frac{405000}{113} from both sides of the equation.
y=-\frac{810000}{1351}
Divide both sides of the equation by \frac{1351}{226}, which is the same as multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of the fraction.
x=-\frac{909}{904}\left(-\frac{810000}{1351}\right)+\frac{101250}{113}
Substitute -\frac{810000}{1351} for y in x=-\frac{909}{904}y+\frac{101250}{113}. Because the resulting equation contains only one variable, you can solve for x directly.
x=\frac{92036250}{152663}+\frac{101250}{113}
Multiply -\frac{909}{904} times -\frac{810000}{1351} by multiplying numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator. Then reduce the fraction to lowest terms if possible.
x=\frac{2025000}{1351}
Add \frac{101250}{113} to \frac{92036250}{152663} by finding a common denominator and adding the numerators. Then reduce the fraction to lowest terms if possible.
x=\frac{2025000}{1351},y=-\frac{810000}{1351}
The system is now solved.

Put the equations in standard form and then use matrices to solve the system of equations.
\left(\begin{matrix}904&909\\4&10\end{matrix}\right)\left(\begin{matrix}x\\y\end{matrix}\right)=\left(\begin{matrix}810000\\0\end{matrix}\right)
Write the equations in matrix form.
inverse(\left(\begin{matrix}904&909\\4&10\end{matrix}\right))\left(\begin{matrix}904&909\\4&10\end{matrix}\right)\left(\begin{matrix}x\\y\end{matrix}\right)=inverse(\left(\begin{matrix}904&909\\4&10\end{matrix}\right))\left(\begin{matrix}810000\\0\end{matrix}\right)
Left multiply the equation by the inverse matrix of \left(\begin{matrix}904&909\\4&10\end{matrix}\right).
\left(\begin{matrix}1&0\\0&1\end{matrix}\right)\left(\begin{matrix}x\\y\end{matrix}\right)=inverse(\left(\begin{matrix}904&909\\4&10\end{matrix}\right))\left(\begin{matrix}810000\\0\end{matrix}\right)
The product of a matrix and its inverse is the identity matrix.
\left(\begin{matrix}x\\y\end{matrix}\right)=inverse(\left(\begin{matrix}904&909\\4&10\end{matrix}\right))\left(\begin{matrix}810000\\0\end{matrix}\right)
Multiply the matrices on the left hand side of the equal sign.
\left(\begin{matrix}x\\y\end{matrix}\right)=\left(\begin{matrix}\frac{10}{904\times 10-909\times 4}&-\frac{909}{904\times 10-909\times 4}\\-\frac{4}{904\times 10-909\times 4}&\frac{904}{904\times 10-909\times 4}\end{matrix}\right)\left(\begin{matrix}810000\\0\end{matrix}\right)
For the 2\times 2 matrix \left(\begin{matrix}a&b\\c&d\end{matrix}\right), the inverse matrix is \left(\begin{matrix}\frac{d}{ad-bc}&\frac{-b}{ad-bc}\\\frac{-c}{ad-bc}&\frac{a}{ad-bc}\end{matrix}\right), so the matrix equation can be rewritten as a matrix multiplication problem.
\left(\begin{matrix}x\\y\end{matrix}\right)=\left(\begin{matrix}\frac{5}{2702}&-\frac{909}{5404}\\-\frac{1}{1351}&\frac{226}{1351}\end{matrix}\right)\left(\begin{matrix}810000\\0\end{matrix}\right)

904x+909y=810000,4x+10y=0
In order to solve by elimination, coefficients of one of the variables must be the same in both equations so that the variable will cancel out when one equation is subtracted from the other.
4\times 904x+4\times 909y=4\times 810000,904\times 4x+904\times 10y=0

3616x+3636y=3240000,3616x+9040y=0
Simplify.
3616x-3616x+3636y-9040y=3240000
Subtract 3616x+9040y=0 from 3616x+3636y=3240000 by subtracting like terms on each side of the equal sign.
3636y-9040y=3240000

x=\frac{2025000}{1351}
Divide both sides by 4.
x=\frac{2025000}{1351},y=-\frac{810000}{1351}
The system is now solved.
