Create a system of equations
x + y = 123
5x + y = 343
I use substitution
y = 123 - x
5x + 123 - x = 343
4x + 123 = 343
4x = 220
x = 55
Plug in
x + y = 123
55 + y = 123
y = 68
Check
5x + y = 343
5(55) + 68 = 343
275 + 68 = 343
343 = 343
x-17= 23
move -17 to the other side
sign changes from -17 to +17
x-17+17= 23+17
x= 23+17
Answer:
x= 40
4 625/1,000 to 4 25/40 to 4 5/8
To find how many miles per hour you need to divide 50 by 5 to get the number of miles per hour and do the same thing to the 2nd step and to find the difference you need to subtract the numbers. Hope it helps!!!
