18) Solve the system. 0.4x - 0.1y = 2 0.2x + 0.5y = 1 A) (5, 0) B) (0, 5) C) (-5, 0) Eliminate D) (3, -10) please help me its exam time
To solve the set of equations given above, we can use the substitution method where we substitute one equation to the other and solving for one variable. We do as follows:
0.4x - 0.1y = 2
x = 5 + 0.25y
0.2x + 0.5y = 1
0.2(5 + 0.25y)+ 0.5y = 1
y = 0
x = 5
Therefore, the correct answer from the choices is option A, (5,0).
