Let's solve this system of equations step by step to find the value of \( 15x + 12y \).

The given system of equations is:

1. \( 10x + 4y = 16 \)
2. \( 5x + 8y = 20 \)

### Step 1: Solve one equation for \( x \) or \( y \)
We can simplify the second equation by dividing it by 5:
\[
x + \frac{8}{5}y = 4
\]
Multiply both sides by 5 to eliminate the fraction.



If (x,y) is the solution to the system of equations 10x + 4y = 16 and 5x + 8y = 20, what is the value of 15x + 12y?

This problem involves solving a system of linear equations: 10x + 4y = 16 and 5x + 8y = 20, to determine the value of 15x + 12y. The problem demonstrates how to use algebraic methods like elimination or substitution to find the solution.
