Use the substitution method to solve:
12f + 8i = 260
15f + 6i = 240
Check Format
Equation 1 is in the correct format.
Check Format
Equation 2 is in the correct format.
Rearrange Equation 2 to solve for f:
15f + 6i = 240
Subtract 6i from both sides to isolate f:
15f + 6i - 6i = 240 - 6i
15f = 240 - 6i
Now divide by 15:
| 15f | |
| 15 |
| = |
| 240 - 6i |
| 15 |
Revised Equation 2:
| f = | 240 - 6i |
| 15 |
Plug Revised Equation 2 value into f:
12(f) + 8i = 260
12 * ((240 - 6i)/15) + 8i = 260
((2880 - 72i)/15) + 8i = 260
Multiply equation 1 through by 15
15 * (((2880 - 72i)/15) + 8i = 260)
15 * (((2880 - 72i)/15) + 8i = 260)
2880 - 72i + 120i = 3900
Group like terms:
-72i + 120i = 3900 - 2880
48i = 1020
Divide each side by 48
| 48i | |
| 48 |
| = |
| 1020 |
| 48 |
| i = | 1020 |
| 48 |
i = 21.25
Plug this answer into Equation 1
12f + 8(21.25) = 260
12f + 170 = 260
12f = 260 - 170
12f = 90
Divide each side by 12
| 12f | |
| 12 |
| = |
| 90 |
| 12 |
| f = | 90 |
| 12 |
f = 7.5
What is the Answer?
f = 7.5 and i = 21.25
