Enter Simultaneous Equations:

<-- Equation 1
<-- Equation 2

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
