Answer :
Answer:
The value of a=300 and value of k=200
If you solve the above system of equations by elimination method, you will get the same values of a and k.
In Equation 1 [tex]k+a=500[/tex] both variables k has 1 as their coefficient.
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to solve the system of equations using substitution method
The equation are:
[tex]k + a = 500--eq(1)\\3k + 10a = 3,600 --eq(2)[/tex]
For substitution method, we find value of k from equation 1 and put in equation 2
[tex]From \ eq(1) \ we \ get\\k=500-a[/tex]
Putting it in eq(2)
[tex]3k+10a=3600\\Put \ k=500-a\\3(500-a)+10a=3600\\1500-3a+10a=3600\\7a=3600-1500\\7a=2100\\a=\frac{2100}{7}\\a=300[/tex]
So, we get value of a = 300
Now finding value of k by putting value of a in equation [tex]k=500-a[/tex]
[tex]k=500-a\\Putting \ a \ =500\\k=500-300\\k=200[/tex]
So, we get value of k =200
The value of a=300 and value of k=200
If you solve the above system of equations by elimination method, you will get the same values of a and k.
In Equation 1 [tex]k+a=500[/tex] both variables k has 1 as their coefficient.
