If 8x−4y=20 and 4x−8y=4, what is the value of x−y?

Mathematics
1 answer:
____ [38]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the system:

8x−4y=20

4x−8y=4

Reduce the first equation by dividing every term by -2:

-4x + 2y = -10

and then combine this result with the second equation:

4x−8y=4

-4x + 2y = -10

--------------------

      -6y = -6, and so y = 1.  

According to the first equation, if y = 1, then 4x - 8 = 4, or x = 3.

Then x = 3 and y = 1.

So, finally, x - y = 3 - 1 = 2

he travels 249 miles on saturday

Step-by-step explanation:

you must multiple the distance travled in one hour by the number of hours of driving. In this case 4. This is if he did not change speeds ;)

4 x 62.25 = 249 miles

Hope this helps :)  Please mark brainliest if you see fit :)
