X=5+y
x+y=-15
subsitute 5+y for x
5+y+y=-15
5+2y=-15
minus 5 from both sides
2y=-20
divide both sides by 2
y=-10
sub back
x=5+y
x=5-10
x=-5
the numbers are -10 and -5
You can simply look at a graph and see if it's the same on both sides at a certain point
<span>11/100 + 16/10 equals 1.71, or as a fraction, 1 71/100.</span>
Using substitution:
first you have to express one variable in terms of the other, in this we can express y in terms of x:
Since both expressions are equal to y, you have to equal both expressions like this:
Now you can solve the equation:
Knowing x=10, you can use any of the expressions we found before to find y. In this case I'm going to use y= -x+9 because it's simpler but boy should give you the same result
So, the answer is x=10 and y=-1
If you would like to write 45 minutes to 1 hour in the simplest form, you can do this using the following step:
1 hour = 60 minutes
45 minutes : 60 minutes = 45 : 60 = 3 : 4 (divide both numbers by 15)
The correct result would be 3 : 4.
