Let the units digit = x

Let the 10s digit = y

Equations

10y + x - 2 = 8 * (x + y)              (1)

10y + x - 54 = 10x + y               (2)

Equation 1

10y + x - 2 = 8 * (x + y)    Remove the brackets on the right

10y + x - 2 = 8x + 8y       Subtract 8y from both sides

10y - 8y + x - 2 = 8x        Subtract 8x from both sides

2y + x - 8x - 2 = 0            Combine

2y - 7x - 2 = 0                  (3)

Equation 2

10y + x - 54 = 10x + y      Subtract 10x

10y - 9x - 54 = y              Subtract y from both sides.

9y - 9x - 54 = 0               Divide by 9

y - x - 6 =  0                     Multiply by 2

2y - 2x - 12 = 0                (4)

Solution

Subtract (3) - (4)

2y - 7x - 2 = 0

2y - 2x - 12 = 0

- 5x + 10 = 0      Subtract 10 from both sides.

- 5x = - 10          Divide by - 5

  x = 2

Use (4) to find y

2y - 2x - 12 = 0         Let x =2

2y - 2(2) - 12 = 0      Remove the brackets

2y - 4 - 12 = 0           Combine

2y - 16 = 0                 Add 16 to both sides.

2y = 16                      Divide by 2

y = 8

Answer 82

I'll leave the check to you, but the answer of 82 is correct.

Valentina's family is planning to have a party for her quinceanera. They are considering two different locations to rent for her
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

number of hours = 3 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = number of hours

Casa Lucia = 200 + 500x

Silver Fox = 1,100 + 200x

To solve the equation, equate both cost of rent

Casa Lucia = Silver Fox

200 + 500x = 1,100 + 200x

200 - 1,100 = 200x - 500x

-900 = - 300x

x = -900 / -300

x = 3 hours

number of hours = 3 hours

The solution to the system of equations in this real-world context represents the number of hours both locations can be rented with the same cost.

It means both locations cost the same if rented for 3 hours each
