Given system of equations are: 

0.4x + 0.3y = 1.7 —-(i) 

0.7x - 0.2y = 0.8 —-(ii) 

Multiplying (i) by 0.2 and (ii) by 0.3 and adding them, we get 

0.8x + 2.1x = 3.4 + 2.4 

2.9x = 5.8 

x = 2 

Now, substituting x = 2 in (i), we have 

0.4 × 2 + 0.3y = 1.7 

0.3y = 1.7 - 0.8 

y = 3 

Hence, x = 2 and y = 3.
