The second equation is perfect. We can add y to both sides to make the equation equal x.
X=5+y; let's plug that in for x in the first equation.
2(5+y)+3y=25
10+2y+3y=25
5y+10=25
Let's subtract 10 from both sides.
5y=15
Now divide both sides by 5.
Y=3
So y is 3. We can plug 3 in for y in the second equation.
X-3=5
X=8
So, X=8 and Y=3.

2x + 3y = 25
x - y = 5


x-y = 5 [make x the subject]
x= 5 +y

Now substitute,
2(5+y) + 3y =25
10 + 2y + 3y =25
10 + 5y = 25
5y = 25-10
5y=15
y=15÷5
y=3

Now to find x, substitute the value of y

x = 5 +y
x = 5 +3
x = 8

Tracy needs to find the length and width of the equiptment storage room where she works. the room is 2 meters long than it is wi
ElenaW [278]
Rectangle:
P = 2 (L+W) but length is 2 meters longer than wide
then L = W + 2, So
P = 2 (L + W)
24 = 2(W+2+W)
24 = 2 (2 + 2W)
24 = 4 + 4W
So 4W = 24 -4 =20
W = 20/4= 5, L = 5+2= 7

Double check
24 = 2*(5+7) = 2 *12 = 24

A cleaning crew can clean 5 offices in 6hours.how many offices can they clean in 12 hours
snow_lady [41]
Set up a proportion like this
   \frac{hours}{offices} = \frac{hours}{offices}
 
So your proportion would be:
  \frac{6}{5} = \frac{12}{x}
We put x for offices because they are asking for the number o offices a crew can paint in 12 hours, and also we don't know the number of offices they can paint in 12 hours
       so we cross multiply and we get
     6x=60, we got 60 by multiplying 12 and 5
Now we divide both sides by 6 and we get
  x=10
S the crew can paint 10 offices in 12 hours.
