Rawli, in your head? Fuck off

Okay, you firstly take the 2nd line from the top

4a + 6b = 181
MINUS
4a + 2b = 100

Leaving 4b = 81

Therefore 1B = 20.25

Now.....take this back to the SECOND equation (easier).

So 4a + 2B = 100

So, 2B os 20.25*2 (40.5).

100 - 40.5 = 4a
Giving A = 14.875


Now, run these two figures through the top equation to chekc they work.

4a + 6b = 181

4a = 59.5
6b = 121.5

So....121.5 + 59.5 = 181

So the values worked out are correct.

Its much easier to follow when written on paper, hope ya can see how i got it mate!
