Let's write an equation and solve for x
12 1/2 = 5x + 3 1/3
rewrite the mixed fractions as improper fractions and with denominator 6
75/6 = 5x + 20/6
subtract 20/6 from both sides
55/6 = 5x
divide both sides by 5 to isolate x
11/6 = x
That is 1 and 5/6 pounds per each of the friends

To check:
<span>12 1/2 =?= 5(1 5/6) + 3 1/3
12 1/2 =?= 55/6 + 3 1/3
12 1/2 =?= 25/2
12 1/2 = 12 1/2

Hope this helps</span>

Solve by elimination: x-2y= -7 ; 4x+2y= 22
svp [43]
Apply the elimination method to the 2y terms since they are opposites & therefore can eliminate. Combine the rest of the terms, vertically.

x-2y= -7
4x+2y= 22
5x = 15
Divide both sides by 5.
x=3

Plug the x value to one of the original equations and solve for y.

4x + 2y = 22
4(3) + 2y = 22
12 + 2y = 22
Subtract by 12 on both sides.
2y = 10
Divide by 2 on both sides.
y = 5

Therefore, the solution to the system of equations shown is:

x=3 y=5

or

as an ordered pair (3, 5).
