W=\frac{4.7}{1.6\times \left(\frac{1}{10000000000000000000}\right)}
Consider the second equation. Calculate 10 to the power of -19 and get \frac{1}{10000000000000000000}.
W=6.67\times \left(\frac{1}{10000000000000000000000000000000}\right)X
Consider the first equation. Calculate 10 to the power of -31 and get \frac{1}{10000000000000000000000000000000}.
W-6.67\times \left(\frac{1}{10000000000000000000000000000000}\right)X=0
Subtract 6.67\times \left(\frac{1}{10000000000000000000000000000000}\right)X from both sides.
-X\left(6.67\times \left(\frac{1}{10000000000000000000000000000000}\right)\right)+W=0
Reorder the terms.
W=\frac{4.7}{1.6\times \left(\frac{1}{10000000000000000000}\right)},W+\left(-6.67\times \left(\frac{1}{10000000000000000000000000000000}\right)\right)X=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.
W=\frac{4.7}{1.6\times \left(\frac{1}{10000000000000000000}\right)}
Pick one of the two equations which is more simple to solve for W by isolating W on the left hand side of the equal sign.
W=29375000000000000000
Divide both sides by 1.
29375000000000000000+\left(-6.67\times \left(\frac{1}{10000000000000000000000000000000}\right)\right)X=0
Substitute 29375000000000000000 for W in the other equation, W+\left(-6.67\times \left(\frac{1}{10000000000000000000000000000000}\right)\right)X=0.
-\frac{667}{1000000000000000000000000000000000}X=-29375000000000000000
Subtract 29375000000000000000 from both sides of the equation.
X=\frac{29375000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000}{667}
Divide both sides of the equation by -\frac{667}{1000000000000000000000000000000000}, which is the same as multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of the fraction.
W=29375000000000000000,X=\frac{29375000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000}{667}
The system is now solved.
