<span>Faster maid DATA:
time = x hr/job ; rate = 1/x job/jhr
Slower maid DATA:
time = 3x hr/job ; rate = 1/3x job/hr
Together DATA:
time = 3 hr/job ; rate = 1/3 job/hr
Equation:
rate + rate = together rate
1/x + 1/3x = 1/3
Multiply thru by 3x to get:
3 + 1 = x
x = 4 hrs (time for the faster maid to do the job)</span>

Multiply the top equation by 6 and the bottom equation by 7. You will cancel x first by doing this and solve for y. You should get y=-1.
Substitute in y for either original equation.
You should get x=1.
Solution is (1,-1).

The sum of two numbers is 72 while the difference between the numbers is 25. the larger of the numbers is
7nadin3 [17]
2 equations:  the first one is the sum of 2 unknown numbers x and y: x + y = 72. Now the difference is 25, so x - y = 25. Solve the first equation for y: y = 72 - x. Sub that into the second equation to solve for x: x - (72 - x) = 25. x - 72 + x = 25 and 2x - 72 = 25.  Therefore, 2x = 97 and x = 48.5  That's the larger of the 2 numbers; since we subtracted y from x we defined x as the larger of the 2.  Just for fun, plug x in to find that y = 23.5
