Solve {l}{x=170,000+0,05y}{y=340,000+0.1935x}

$$\left\{ \begin{array} { l } { x = 170,000 + 0,05 y } \\ { y = 340,000 + 0.1935 x } \end{array} \right.$$

Solve for x, y

$$x = \frac{7480000000}{39613} = 188826\frac{35662}{39613} \approx 188826.900260016$$

$$y = \frac{14915800000}{39613} = 376538\frac{206}{39613} \approx 376538.005200313$$

Steps Using Substitution

Consider the first equation. Subtract 0.05y from both sides.

$$x-0.05y=170000$$

Consider the second equation. Subtract 0.1935x from both sides.

$$y-0.1935x=340000$$

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.

$$x-0.05y=170000,-0.1935x+y=340000$$

Choose one of the equations and solve it for x by isolating x on the left hand side of the equal sign.

$$x-0.05y=170000$$

Add \frac{y}{20} to both sides of the equation.

$$x=0.05y+170000$$

Substitute \frac{y}{20}+170000 for x in the other equation, -0.1935x+y=340000.

$$-0.1935\left(0.05y+170000\right)+y=340000$$

Multiply -0.1935 times \frac{y}{20}+170000.

$$-0.009675y-32895+y=340000$$

Add -\frac{387y}{40000} to y.

$$0.990325y-32895=340000$$

Add 32895 to both sides of the equation.

$$0.990325y=372895$$

Divide both sides of the equation by 0.990325, which is the same as multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of the fraction.

$$y=\frac{14915800000}{39613}$$

Substitute \frac{14915800000}{39613} for y in x=0.05y+170000. Because the resulting equation contains only one variable, you can solve for x directly.

$$x=0.05\times \frac{14915800000}{39613}+170000$$

Multiply 0.05 times \frac{14915800000}{39613} by multiplying numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator. Then reduce the fraction to lowest terms if possible.

$$x=\frac{745790000}{39613}+170000$$

Add 170000 to \frac{745790000}{39613}.

$$x=\frac{7480000000}{39613}$$

The system is now solved.

$$x=\frac{7480000000}{39613},y=\frac{14915800000}{39613}$$

Steps Using Matrices

Consider the first equation. Subtract 0.05y from both sides.

$$x-0.05y=170000$$

Consider the second equation. Subtract 0.1935x from both sides.

$$y-0.1935x=340000$$

Put the equations in standard form and then use matrices to solve the system of equations.

$$x-0.05y=170000,-0.1935x+y=340000$$

Write the equations in matrix form.

$$\left(\begin{matrix}1&-0.05\\-0.1935&1\end{matrix}\right)\left(\begin{matrix}x\\y\end{matrix}\right)=\left(\begin{matrix}170000\\340000\end{matrix}\right)$$

Left multiply the equation by the inverse matrix of \left(\begin{matrix}1&-0.05\\-0.1935&1\end{matrix}\right).

$$inverse(\left(\begin{matrix}1&-0.05\\-0.1935&1\end{matrix}\right))\left(\begin{matrix}1&-0.05\\-0.1935&1\end{matrix}\right)\left(\begin{matrix}x\\y\end{matrix}\right)=inverse(\left(\begin{matrix}1&-0.05\\-0.1935&1\end{matrix}\right))\left(\begin{matrix}170000\\340000\end{matrix}\right)$$

The product of a matrix and its inverse is the identity matrix.

$$\left(\begin{matrix}1&0\\0&1\end{matrix}\right)\left(\begin{matrix}x\\y\end{matrix}\right)=inverse(\left(\begin{matrix}1&-0.05\\-0.1935&1\end{matrix}\right))\left(\begin{matrix}170000\\340000\end{matrix}\right)$$

Multiply the matrices on the left hand side of the equal sign.

$$\left(\begin{matrix}x\\y\end{matrix}\right)=inverse(\left(\begin{matrix}1&-0.05\\-0.1935&1\end{matrix}\right))\left(\begin{matrix}170000\\340000\end{matrix}\right)$$

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.

$$\left(\begin{matrix}x\\y\end{matrix}\right)=\left(\begin{matrix}\frac{1}{1-\left(-0.05\left(-0.1935\right)\right)}&-\frac{-0.05}{1-\left(-0.05\left(-0.1935\right)\right)}\\-\frac{-0.1935}{1-\left(-0.05\left(-0.1935\right)\right)}&\frac{1}{1-\left(-0.05\left(-0.1935\right)\right)}\end{matrix}\right)\left(\begin{matrix}170000\\340000\end{matrix}\right)$$

Do the arithmetic.

$$\left(\begin{matrix}x\\y\end{matrix}\right)=\left(\begin{matrix}\frac{40000}{39613}&\frac{2000}{39613}\\\frac{7740}{39613}&\frac{40000}{39613}\end{matrix}\right)\left(\begin{matrix}170000\\340000\end{matrix}\right)$$

Multiply the matrices.

$$\left(\begin{matrix}x\\y\end{matrix}\right)=\left(\begin{matrix}\frac{40000}{39613}\times 170000+\frac{2000}{39613}\times 340000\\\frac{7740}{39613}\times 170000+\frac{40000}{39613}\times 340000\end{matrix}\right)$$

Do the arithmetic.

$$\left(\begin{matrix}x\\y\end{matrix}\right)=\left(\begin{matrix}\frac{7480000000}{39613}\\\frac{14915800000}{39613}\end{matrix}\right)$$

Extract the matrix elements x and y.

$$x=\frac{7480000000}{39613},y=\frac{14915800000}{39613}$$

Steps Using Elimination

Consider the first equation. Subtract 0.05y from both sides.

$$x-0.05y=170000$$

Consider the second equation. Subtract 0.1935x from both sides.

$$y-0.1935x=340000$$

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.

$$x-0.05y=170000,-0.1935x+y=340000$$

To make x and -\frac{387x}{2000} equal, multiply all terms on each side of the first equation by -0.1935 and all terms on each side of the second by 1.

$$-0.1935x-0.1935\left(-0.05\right)y=-0.1935\times 170000,-0.1935x+y=340000$$

Simplify.

$$-0.1935x+0.009675y=-32895,-0.1935x+y=340000$$

Subtract -0.1935x+y=340000 from -0.1935x+0.009675y=-32895 by subtracting like terms on each side of the equal sign.

$$-0.1935x+0.1935x+0.009675y-y=-32895-340000$$

Add -\frac{387x}{2000} to \frac{387x}{2000}. Terms -\frac{387x}{2000} and \frac{387x}{2000} cancel out, leaving an equation with only one variable that can be solved.

$$0.009675y-y=-32895-340000$$

Add \frac{387y}{40000} to -y.

$$-0.990325y=-32895-340000$$

Add -32895 to -340000.

$$-0.990325y=-372895$$

Divide both sides of the equation by -0.990325, which is the same as multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of the fraction.

$$y=\frac{14915800000}{39613}$$

Substitute \frac{14915800000}{39613} for y in -0.1935x+y=340000. Because the resulting equation contains only one variable, you can solve for x directly.

$$-0.1935x+\frac{14915800000}{39613}=340000$$

Subtract \frac{14915800000}{39613} from both sides of the equation.

$$-0.1935x=-\frac{1447380000}{39613}$$

Divide both sides of the equation by -0.1935, which is the same as multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of the fraction.

$$x=\frac{7480000000}{39613}$$

The system is now solved.

$$x=\frac{7480000000}{39613},y=\frac{14915800000}{39613}$$
