Solve {l}{0.12^2*0.617=x}{x*5=y}

$$\left. \begin{array} { l } { 0.12 ^ { 2 } \times 0.617 = x } \\ { x \times 5 = y } \end{array} \right.$$

Solve for x, y

$$x=0.0088848$$

$$y=0.044424$$

Solution Steps

Consider the first equation. Calculate 0.12 to the power of 2 and get 0.0144.

$$0.0144\times 0.617=x$$

Multiply 0.0144 and 0.617 to get 0.0088848.

$$0.0088848=x$$

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$x=0.0088848$$

Consider the second equation. Insert the known values of variables into the equation.

$$0.0088848\times 5=y$$

Multiply 0.0088848 and 5 to get 0.044424.

$$0.044424=y$$

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$y=0.044424$$

The system is now solved.

$$x=0.0088848 y=0.044424$$
