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
