Answer:Boys=5,girls =2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let b be the no of boys and g be the no of girls

Therefore

Sam has twice as many brothers as sisters

2g=b-1

b-2g=1--------------1

Amanda has five times as many brothers as sisters

5(g-1)=b

5g-b=5----------------2

using (1) & (2) we get

g=2

b=5

Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

63 sandwiches

Step-by-step explanation:

Pete and his friend Danny volunteered to bring sandwiches for lunch at a homeless shelter

They brought 7 loaves of bread

Each loaves have 18 slices

They used 2 slices each to make the sandwich

The first step is to calculate the total number of slices

Sinces 7 loaves of bread are used and each of them contain 18 slices then, the total number of slices can be calculated as follows

= 7 ×18

= 126 slices

Therefore since 2 slices of bread is used to make one sandwich then, the number of sandwiches that was made can be calculated as follows

= 126/2

= 63

Hence 63 sandwiches were made for the shelter

R = recycling and reuse industry jobs
w = waste management jobs

we know, those two jobs combined are 1,275,000
or
r + w = 1,275,000

we also know that, whatever the "w" jobs are, are really less than "r"
jobs by 1,025,000

"r" has 1,025,000 more than  "w"
or
r = w + 1,025,000
or
r-w = 1,025,000

so... there, just solve by elimination, simple, notice the "w",
is just waiting to be eliminated :)

\bf \begin{cases}
r+\quad  w=1,275,000\\
r-\quad w=1,025,000\\
\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\\
\boxed{?}+\boxed{?}=\boxed{?}
\end{cases}
