X=area of Sahara.
y=area of the Gobi Desert.
We suggest this system equations:
x+y=4000000
x=7y
solve by susbstitution method.
(7y)+y=4,000,000
8y=4,000,000
y=4,000,000 / 8=500,000

x=7y
x=7(500,000)=3,500,000

The area of Sahara=3,500,00 miles².
The area of the Gobi Desert=500,000 miles²

To check:
Te sum of their areas is : 3,500,000 miles²+500,000 miles²=4,000,000 miles²
Te area of sahara (3,500,000 miles²) is 7 times the area of the Gobi Desert (7*500,000 miles²=3,500,000 miles²).

Answer:

x=3 and y= 4 / 3 (Fraction)

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute x for 6y-5.

2(6y−5)−3y=2

Add 6y and 3y, and multiply 5 by 2/Simplify the equation.

9y−10=2

Add  10 to both sides, and then divide each side by 9.

9y−10+10=2+10

9y / 9 = 12 / 9

y = 4/3.

Repeat the process but replace y with 4/3!

the sum of two numbers is 44. the smaller number is 20 less than the larger number. what are the numbers?
Troyanec [42]
Sum means add
x and y are the numbers
sum i 44
x+y=44

smaller s 20 les than larger
x=20+y
or
y=20+x
doesn't matter, just pick one
x=20+y

substue 20+y for x since they are equal
x+y=44
(20+y)+y=44
20+y+y=44
20+2y=44
subtract 20 from both sides
2y=24
divide by 2
y=12
subsitue
x=20+y
x=20+12
x=32

the numbers are 12 and 32
