What is the solution of the system? y=145-5x and 0.1+0.5x=14.5

145-5x (0.1) + 0.5=14.5

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

145-5x (0.1) + 0.5=14.5

145+-0.5x+0.5=14.5

(-0.5x) + (145+0.5) = 14.5 (Combine Like Terms)

-0.5x+145.5=14.5

-0.5x+145.5=14.5

Step 2: Subtract 145.5 from both sides.

-0.5x+145.5-145.5=14.5-145.5

-0.5x=-131

Step 3: Divide both sides by - 0.5.

-0.5x

-0.5

=

-131

-0.5

x=262

Answer:

x=262
