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!
Since if he gets the driveway done in 20 minutes he gets 1/20th of the driveway done in 1 minute (if x=20 then x/20=1 by dividing both sides by 20) and if his brother gets 1/12th of the driveway done in one minute, then if t represents the time it takes to shovel the driveway, t/20+t/12=1 driveway shoveled as 1/20+1/12=amount they can do in 1 minute, so t/20+t/12 is how much they can do in t minutes. Multiplying both sides by 20*12=240, we get 12t+20t=32t=240. Dividing both sides by 32, we get 240/32=7.5 minutes to shovel the driveway.
