$$\left. \begin{array} { l } { -x = -163 }\\ { \text{Solve for } y \text{ where} } \\ { y = 2 \cdot 1112.5 - 2 \cdot 945 } \end{array} \right.$$

Solve for x, y

$$y=335$$

Solution Steps

Consider the first equation. Divide both sides by -1.

$$x=\frac{-163}{-1}$$

Fraction \frac{-163}{-1} can be simplified to 163 by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.

$$x=163$$

Consider the second equation. Multiply 2 and 1112.5 to get 2225.

$$y=2225-2\times 945$$

Multiply 2 and 945 to get 1890.

$$y=2225-1890$$

Subtract 1890 from 2225 to get 335.

$$y=335$$

The system is now solved.

$$x=163 y=335$$
