Use the substitution method to solve:
30a + 30s = 750
27a + 28s = 682
Check Format
Equation 1 is in the correct format.
Check Format
Equation 2 is in the correct format.
Rearrange Equation 2 to solve for a:
27a + 28s = 682
Subtract 28s from both sides to isolate a:
27a + 28s - 28s = 682 - 28s
27a = 682 - 28s
Now divide by 27:
27a
27
=
682 - 28s
27
Revised Equation 2:
a =
682 - 28s
27
Plug Revised Equation 2 value into a:
30(a) + 30s = 750
30 * ((682 - 28s)/27) + 30s = 750
((20460 - 840s)/27) + 30s = 750
Multiply equation 1 through by 27
27 * (((20460 - 840s)/27) + 30s = 750)
27 * (((20460 - 840s)/27) + 30s = 750)
20460 - 840s + 810s = 20250
Group like terms:
-840s + 810s = 20250 - 20460
-30s = -210
Divide each side by -30
-30s
-30
=
-210
-30
s =
-210
-30
s = 7
Plug this answer into Equation 1
30a + 30(7) = 750
30a + 210 = 750
30a = 750 - 210
30a = 540
Divide each side by 30
30a
30
=
540
30
a =
540
30
a = 18
What is the Answer?
a = 18 and s = 7
