Can you find X......

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 11-12-22] [Hit: ]
We have an equation with x and y in it,40x = 421.x = 421.x = 10.......
X*40=Y, Y*0.21=Z, Y-Z=291. Find X.
Round up to the nearest one hundredth (0.00)

You have three equations:

40x = y
0.21y = z
y - z = 291

Since the 2nd two equations are y and z only, let's ignore the first one for now. We not have 2 equations and 2 unknowns, so we can solve for y and z.

We already have z in terms of y in equation 2, so let's plug that into z in equation 3 to solve for y.

y - z = 291
y - 0.21y = 291
0.69y = 291
y = 291 / 0.69
y = 421.74

Since we don't need z to find x, we can skip solving for z. We have an equation with x and y in it, so plug in our y into that and solve for x:

40x = y
40x = 421.74
x = 421.74 / 40
x = 10.54
