We can use the system of equations:x + y = 217x - y = 85-----------------From the 2nd equation: y = x - 85x + x - 85 = 2172 x = 217 + 852 x = 302x = 302 : 2x = 151y = 217 - 151y = 66We can prove this solution:151 + 66 = 2017 and 151 - 66 = 85.Answer: those numbers are 151 and 66.

If I have an equation in which x = pounds, and y = total cost, can I substitute quarts into the equation

Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

Yes, you can

Step-by-step explanation:

As a point of reference, assume the equation is:

$y = 5x$

Where

$y = total\ cost$

and

$x = pounds$

In standard unit of conversion:

$1\ pound = 0.4793\ quart$

So:

$x\ pounds = 0.4793x\ quart$

Substitute 0.4793x for x in $y = 5x$

$y = 5 * 0.4793x$

$y = 2.3965x$

The above equation is the equivalent of $y = 5x$ in quarts

<em>So, irrespective of what the equation is, you can always substitute quarts into the equation.</em>
