DEFINE VARIABLES:
x- first number
y- second number

FORM THE TWO EQUATIONS:
x + y = -149
x = y-5

PLUG IN FIRST VALUE TO FIND SECOND (order you plug in doesn’t matter):
(y-5) + y = -149

SIMPLIFY:
(y-5) + y = -149
2y -5 = -149
2y = -144
y = -72

PLUG IN SECOND VALUE TO FIND FIRST:
x + y = -149 —> y = -x-149

x = (-x-149) -5
x = -x -154
2x = -154
x= -77

WRITE FINAL SOLUTION:
(x,y)
(-77, -72)

Eva's new bunny weighted 1 7/8 pounds when she first got him 4 weeks ago. Now he weighs 2 1/4 pounds. How much weight has Eva's
Serggg [28]

Answer: Eva's dog actually gained 3/8 pounds ( 0.375pounds)

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Given that

old weight = 1 7/8  pounds

New weight = 2 1/4 pounds

weight gained = New weight - Old weight

Step 2

 weight gained = New weight - Old weight

                  2 1/4  pounds - 1 7/8 pounds

      2.25 pounds - 1.875 pounds

         0.375pounds = 3/8 pounds
