5 0

Using x and y as the numbers

x+y=25 -------#1
x-y=9 -------#2

Using addition of #1 and #2
x+y+x-y= 25+9
2x+0y=34
2x=34
x=17

Using the value of x and plugging said value into #1 or #2, we can find y
x=17

x+y=25
17+y=25
y=8

OR

x-y=9
17-y=9
-y=-8
y=8

The numbers are 8 and 17

Answer:

The answer in the procedure

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

2x-3y=-1 ----> equation A

3x+3y=26 --> equation B

Solve the system by elimination

Adds equation A and equation B

2x-3y=-1

3x+3y=26

----------------

2x+3x=-1+26

5x=25

x=25/5

x=5

Find the value of y

substitute the value of x in equation A or equation B and solve for y

2(5)-3y=-1

10-3y=-1

3y=10+1

y=11/3

Well, to find out how many times 20.4 can split into 3.4, you need to divide 20.4÷3.4 and you will get 6, and Katrin (K-A-T-R-I-N) is 6 letters, so you have enough room, the answer is yes.
