The variable y in the 2nd equation has a coefficient of 1...so there will be fewer steps to the solution
Do you mean 5+7?
If so, that equals 12!
Hey there!
Answer is 1/360, or in decimal form 0.0028.

Lets say Y is the amount they will save.
So Melinda's savings could be described by the equation Y=22+10X, where X is the number of weeks. The same goes to George, but his equation would be Y=10+13X.
To save the same amount, their equations must match:
22+10X = 10+13X
Solving this, one gets
12 = 3x
=> 4=x
So the answer is 4 weeks.
Answer:
x = -y + 7
or
x = 7 - y
Step-by-step explanation:
x + y = 7
Step 1: Subtract y from both sides to get x alone.
x + y = 7
-y -y
x = 7 - y
Since x is alone and y is a variable & not a number, there's nothing else to do to the equation.
