Mathematics

Answer:

(3,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve this via elimination method:

\begin{cases} x+y=5\\x-y=1\end{cases}

By subtracting equation 2 from equation one we obtain:

\begin{cases} x+y=5\\-(x-y=1)\end{cases}\\\\0x+2y=4\\\\y=2

Next we can use any equation either 1 or 2 to determine what x is, I'll use equation 1.  Let y=2 and so:

x+y=5\\\\x+2=5\\x=5-2\\\\x=3

Therefore the solution for the system of equations is:

x=3 and y = 2 as an ordered pair we have (3,2)

There are two jobs you can apply for. the first job pays $22,000 the first year, with raises of $4,000 each year thereafter. the
jasenka [17]
We let the number of years that the two jobs will have the same payment be denoted as t. Equating the wages of these two jobs after t - 1 years will give us an equation of,
                          22,000 + 4000(t -1) = 26,000 + 2000(t - 1)
The value of t from the generated equation is 3. Therefore, after 3 years the jobs will be paying the same wages.

Shelly ran 2 1/4 miles Lynne ran 3 1/8 Miles WhobRan Farther and by how much
ValentinkaMS [17]
Lynne ran farther and by 7/8 miles 

You can tell Lynne ran further because she ran 3 whole miles while shelly only ran 2 whole miles. Now you have to subtract to see how much Lynne had ran more.

You found a common denominator between 8 and 4. 4 can turn into 8. so you multiply 4x2 and 1x2 to get a mixed number of 2 2/8

Now you have to turn 3 1/8 because you cannot subtract 2/8 from 1/8. You can turn the fraction into 2 9/8 because there are 8 pieces in a whole.

2 9/8 - 2 2/8 = 0 7/8

Hope this helps! :)
