You are given two equations, solve for one variable in one of the equations. Say you solved for x in the second equation. Then, plug in that value of x in the x of the first equation. Solve this (first) equation for y (as it should become apparent) and you'll get a number value. Plug in this numerical value of y into the y of the second equation. Solve for x in the second equation. And there you have it: (x, y)
Answer:
x-9
Step-by-step explanation:
"Less than" switches the way of the expression.
If the "less than" was not there it would have been:
9-x
"Less" means subtract so you would subtract x from 9.

1250 lbs of sand.
So first let's find the volume of the sand in the sandbox. You have a square sandbox, with a side length of 5, meaning you have a length and width of 5. You also have half a foot of sand in the sandbox, meaning that you have a height of 0.5. To find the volume of the sand, multiply the length by the width by the height:

So you have 12.5 cubic feet of sand. If each cubic foot of sand is 100 lbs, then you just multiply the two:
