Enter Simultaneous Equations:

<-- Equation 1
<-- Equation 2

Use the substitution method to solve:

90A + 20B = 13000

270A + 30B = 33000

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:

270a + 30b = 33000

Subtract 30b from both sides to isolate a:

270a + 30b - 30b = 33000 - 30b

270a = 33000 - 30b

Now divide by 270:

270a
270
=
  
33000 - 30b
270

Revised Equation 2:

a  =  33000 - 30b
  270

Plug Revised Equation 2 value into a:

90(a) + 20b = 13000

90 * ((33000 - 30b)/270) + 20b = 13000

((2970000 - 2700b)/270) + 20b = 13000

Multiply equation 1 through by 270

270 * (((2970000 - 2700b)/270) + 20b = 13000)

270 * (((2970000 - 2700b)/270) + 20b = 13000)

2970000 - 2700b + 5400b = 3510000

Group like terms:

-2700b + 5400b = 3510000 - 2970000

2700b = 540000

Divide each side by 2700

2700b
2700
=
  
540000
2700

b  =  540000
  2700

b = 200

Plug this answer into Equation 1

90a + 20(200) = 13000

90a + 4000 = 13000

90a = 13000 - 4000

90a = 9000

Divide each side by 90

90a
90
=
  
9000
90

a  =  9000
  90

a = 100


What is the Answer?
a = 100 and b = 200
