Solve 0.259x+0.966y=540

$$0.259x+0.966y=540$$

Solve for x

$$x=-\frac{138y}{37}+\frac{540000}{259}$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract 0.966y from both sides.

$$0.259x=540-0.966y$$

The equation is in standard form.

$$0.259x=-\frac{483y}{500}+540$$

Divide both sides of the equation by 0.259, which is the same as multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of the fraction.

$$\frac{0.259x}{0.259}=\frac{-\frac{483y}{500}+540}{0.259}$$

Dividing by 0.259 undoes the multiplication by 0.259.

$$x=\frac{-\frac{483y}{500}+540}{0.259}$$

Divide 540-\frac{483y}{500} by 0.259 by multiplying 540-\frac{483y}{500} by the reciprocal of 0.259.

$$x=-\frac{138y}{37}+\frac{540000}{259}$$

Solve for y

$$y=-\frac{37x}{138}+\frac{90000}{161}$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract 0.259x from both sides.

$$0.966y=540-0.259x$$

The equation is in standard form.

$$0.966y=-\frac{259x}{1000}+540$$

Divide both sides of the equation by 0.966, which is the same as multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of the fraction.

$$\frac{0.966y}{0.966}=\frac{-\frac{259x}{1000}+540}{0.966}$$

Dividing by 0.966 undoes the multiplication by 0.966.

$$y=\frac{-\frac{259x}{1000}+540}{0.966}$$

Divide 540-\frac{259x}{1000} by 0.966 by multiplying 540-\frac{259x}{1000} by the reciprocal of 0.966.

$$y=-\frac{37x}{138}+\frac{90000}{161}$$
