[Given]
{ x + y = 6
{ x = y + 4
[Plug-in our x value & solve]
[Given] x + y = 6
[ Plug-in] (y + 4) + y = 6
[Distribute] y + 4 + y = 6
[Combine like terms] 2y + 4 = 6
[Subtract 4 from both sides] 2y = 2
[Divide both sides by 2] y = 1
[Answer]
Third option - (5, 1)
-> You do not need to solve for x since this is the only option that has y = 1, but to solve for x we would do y + 4 = 1 + 4 = 5, so this answer fully checks correctly

2x+3m=p because you don't know how many people there are you put a variable in place for that
Answer:
£910
Step-by-step explanation:
let 3x and 7x be the initial amounts in their accounts, then after alterations
Terry has 3x + 220
Faye has 7x - 300
After these changes the amounts are equal, hence
7x - 300 = 3x + 220 ( subtract 3x from both sides )
4x - 300 = 220 ( add 300 to both sides )
4x = 520 ( divide both sides by 4 )
x = 130
Faye initially had 7 × £130 = £910 in her account
