The monkey can travel by water, carrying all coconuts at once. Because it is an <em>oasis</em> there is fresh water he can drink, and go across in a boat. An oasis is usually found in the desert, and they have water and trees. If the monkey were to take all of the coconuts at once, carrying them onto the boat 1000 at a time, he will not have to eat any coconuts. And if he does, he takes 1500 more.

Answer:

x=20; y=50 or (20, 50)

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitution means plugging in one variable's value that consists of the opposite variable. Because y=3x-10 is already specified, you can plug it into the second equation's y value. After doing that, it looks like this:

-4x+2y=20→-4x+2(3x-10)=20

Then you would distribute the 3 across the parentheses next to it, like this:

-4x+2(3x-10)=20→-4x+6x-20=20

Then, add like terms, like this:

-4x+6x-20=20→2x=40

Then divide both side by 2 to isolate x.

x=20

Now, you can plug 20 (x) into either equation, but the first one seems simpler so you would pick that. It would look like this:

y=3x-10→y=3(20)-10

Solving would look like this:

y=3(20)-10→y=60-10→y=50

So the answer is x=20; y=50 or (20, 50).
