The first thing you should know is that you have a system of two equations with two unknowns.
Clearing we have:
y-x = 9
2y + 2x = -10
Step1: multiply equation 1 by -2
-2y + 2x = -18
2y + 2x = -10
Step2: add both equations:
4x = -28
x = -28 / 4 = -7
answer
The x-coordinate of the solution for the system of equations is x = -7

Answer: 56 large cars and 86 small cars.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call:

$l$ : the number of large cars.

$s$ : the number of small cars.

Then, you can set up the following system of equations:

$\left \{ {{l+s=142} \atop {5.50l+4.0s=652.50}} \right.$

You can use the Elimination Method:

- Multiply the first equation by -4.0

- Add both equations.

- Solve for l.

$\left \{ {{-4.0l-4.0s=-568} \atop {5.50l+4.0s=652.50}} \right.\\--------\\1.5l=84.5$

$l$ ≈ $56$

Substitute $l=56$ into one of the original equations and solve for <em>s:</em>

<em> </em> $56+s=142\\s=142-56\\s=86$

Two buses leave seattle at the same time and travel in opposite directions. one bus averages 55 mi/h and the other bus averages

nalin [4]

In 4 hours they will be 400 miles apart 4 times 55 is 220 and 4 time 45 is 180 since there going in opposer directions add the miles together and it equals 400 so it takes 4 hours

Answer:

x = 35

Step-by-step explanation:

Since m1=m2 :

$2x - 20 = 50 \\ 2x = 70 \\ x = 35$
