2x + 5y = 4/5 ---- equation 1
6x - 5y =5/6  ----equation 2
since you are to use substitution method then first thing to do is to have one equation be modified such that one variable could have a value in terms of the other..
Let's have equation 1
2x + 5y = 4/5
2x = 4/5 - 5y
[tex]x = ( \frac{4}{5} - 5y)( \frac{1}{2}) [/tex]
[tex]x = (\frac{4}{5} )( \frac{1}{2} ) - \frac{5y}{2} [/tex]
[tex]x = \frac{2}{5} - \frac{5y}{2} [/tex]
substituting this to equation 2 you'll have:
6x - 5y = 5/6
[tex]6( \frac{2}{5} - \frac{5y}{2}) - 5y = \frac{5}{6} [/tex]
[tex]6( \frac{2}{5}) - \frac{6(5y)}{2} - 5y = \frac{5}{6} [/tex]
[tex] \frac{12}{5} - 15y - 5y = \frac{5}{6} [/tex]
[tex] \frac{12}{5} - \frac{5}{6} = 15y + 5y [/tex]
[tex]20y = \frac{12}{5} - \frac{5}{6} [/tex]
[tex]20y = \frac{12(6)-5(5)}{30} [/tex]
[tex]20y = \frac{71-25}{30} [/tex]
[tex]20y = \frac{47}{30} [/tex]
[tex]y = \frac{47}{30(20)} [/tex]
[tex]y = \frac{47}{600} [/tex]
substituting the value for y to equation 1
2x + 5y = 4/5
2x + 5(47/600) = 4/5
[tex]2x = \frac{4}{5} - \frac{5(47)}{600} [/tex]
[tex]2x = \frac{4}{5} - \frac{47}{120} [/tex]
[tex]2x = \frac{49}{120} [/tex]
[tex]x = \frac{49}{240} [/tex]
