First, let's simplify the first equation:
42x + 19x - 16 = 14461x - 16 = 14461x = 146x = 1464 / 6x ≈ 24
Now, let's simplify the second equation:
936 / (8x - 17) = 2936 = 24(8x - 17936 = 192x - 40192x = 134x = 1344 / 19x = 7
Therefore, the solution to the system of equations is x = 7.
First, let's simplify the first equation:
42x + 19x - 16 = 144
61x - 16 = 144
61x = 146
x = 1464 / 6
x ≈ 24
Now, let's simplify the second equation:
936 / (8x - 17) = 2
936 = 24(8x - 17
936 = 192x - 40
192x = 134
x = 1344 / 19
x = 7
Therefore, the solution to the system of equations is x = 7.
