To answer this question, you will represent the amount of yards rushed by each running back.

x - Running back #1
9x - Running back #2

The combined yards was 1550, so put these together in an addition equation with a total of 1550.  Solve for x.

x + 9x = 1550
10x = 1550
x = 155

Running back #1 rushed 155 yards, and running back #2 rushed for 1395 yards.

Answer:

2x + 5y = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form for linear equations in two variables is Ax+By=C. For example, 2x+3y=5 is a linear equation in standard form. When an equation is given in this form, it's pretty easy to find both intercepts (x and y). This form is also very useful when solving systems of two linear equations.
