The solution to the system of equations is x = 8, y = 4.

<h3>How to write the system of equations?</h3>

First, let's define our variables as x and y.

"the sum of two numbers is twelve" is written as:

x + y = 12

"two times the first number minus three times the second number is four" is written as:

2x - 3y = 4

Then the system of equations is:

x + y  = 12

2x - 3y = 4

<h3>How to solve it?</h3>

First, we isolate one of the variables in one equation, I will isolate x on the first one to get:

x = 12 - y

Now we replace this on the other equation, so we get:

2*(12 - y) - 3y = 4

Now we can solve this for y.

24 - 2y - 3y = 4

24 - 5y = 4

24 - 4 = 5y

20/5 = y = 4

Now we know the value of y, and:

x = 12 - y = 12 - 4 = 8

Then the solution of the system is:

x = 8, y = 4.

horrorfan [7]

Answer:

33 1/3 or 100/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that as you drive 6 miles per hour faster than your friend, you catch up 6 miles every hour. Let t be the number of hours elapsed(defining the variable). So, we want to solve the equation for t: 6t=200(write the equation). This equation might remind you of the d=rt equation. 200(miles) is the distance, 6(mph) is the rate and t(hours) is the time.

Dividing both sides of the equation by 6 gives t=200/6, so t=100/3 or 33 1/3 hours(Solve)

The check is left as an exercise.
