Answer:
what dose what mean!?
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find who has read more pages, let's find the number of pages read by each one.
The number of pages read by Clancey is:

The number of pages read by Ethan is:

So Ethan read more pages.
The combined number of pages in both books is 240 + 170 = 410.
The combined number of pages read is 60 + 68 = 128
So the fraction is:
You multiply both of the equations until you have two of the same term the same like for example, say I have 4x and 5x. You want to multiply until both have the same number, so multiply 5x by four, then multiply 4x by five, and you will get 20x, then both of those cancel out and you will be left with the other variable, and you just solve like a normal equation.
Answer:
If solving for x then x = -3/2 +y/2
If solving for y then y = -3-2x
Step-by-step explanation:
For x: Divide both sides by 2
For y: Subtract 2x from both sides of the equation
Factor it out (x+2)(x-1)
Set each of these equal to zero to get -2,1 as your answers
