Respuesta :

A will have a value of 2. The value of A is found by the substitutional equation system.

What is the system of two equations?

A set of two linear equations with two variables is called a system of linear equations. They create a system of linear equations when evaluated collectively.

The given equation in the problem is;

Equation 1: [tex]\rm \frac{3}{8} + \frac{1}{3} y= \frac{17}{24}[/tex]

Equation 2: [tex]x+7y=8[/tex]

Rearrange equation 2 as;

x=8-7y

Substitute the value of x;

[tex]\rm \frac{3}{8} + \frac{1}{3} y= \frac{17}{24} \\\\ \frac{3}{8}(8-7y)+\frac{1}{3}y=\frac{17}{24} \\\\ \frac{-21}{8} y+\frac{1}{3} = \frac{17}{24}-3 \\\\ \frac{-63y+8y}{24}=\frac{17-72}{24}\\\\ \frac{-55 \ y}{24} = - \frac{55}{24}\\\\ y= 1[/tex]

Substitute the value of y in equation 2 as;

x+7y=8

x+7(1)+8

x=8-7

x=1

The system of equations by substitution obtained the value of A is;

x + y = A

1+1=A

A=2

Hence the value of A will be 2.
