A. More reasonable is 5 because the 4 is closest to the lowest number, being 5.
B. About 10 times more
Eliminate x's by adding te 2 equations
add them
-2x+15y=24
<u>2x+9y=24 +</u>
0x+24y=48
24y=48
divide both sides by 24
y=2
sub back
2x+9y=24
2x+9(2)=24
2x+18=24
minus 18 both sides
2x=6
divide 2
x=3
x=3
y=2
(x,y)
(3,2)
uhm I can't help with that... sorry
905 = 9 hundreds + 0 tens + 5 ones
or 8 hundreds, 10 tens, 5 ones
425 = 4 hundreds, 2 tens, 5 ones
8 hundreds, 10 tens, 5 ones
4 hundreds, 2 tens, 5 ones
---------------------------------------subtract
4 hundreds, 8 tens, 0 ones = 480......(905 - 425 = 480)
