Hello!
To find this ordered pair, we solve for x and y and put them together in an ordered pair.
-4+y=8
x-5y=17
Let's solve the first equation for y.
y= 12
Now, let's plug 12 into the second equation for y.
x-5(12)=17
x-60=17
x=77
Therefore, our ordered pair is (77,12)
I hope this helps!
What makes no sense I don't get it what it means plus look it up if can
left means subtracting
6 7/8 - 2 5/8
Whole numbers subtract each other
Numerators subtract each other
The denominators stay the same.
6-2= 4
7-5=2
4 2/8
Reduce 2/8. Divide by 2. 2/2= 1, 8/2= 4
4 2/8=4 1/4
Answer: 4 2/8 = 4 1/4 cups left
