One way to understand division is to look at it as repeated
subtraction. When you "divide by" a divisor number, you're
asking "how many times can I subtract this divisor from the
dividend, before the dividend is all used up ?".
Well, if the divisor is ' 1 ', then you're taking ' 1 ' away from the
dividend each time, and the number of times will be exactly
the same as the dividend.
If the divisor is more than ' 1 ', then you subtract more than ' 1 '
from the dividend each time, and the number of times you can
do that is less than the dividend itself.
If the divisor is less than ' 1 ', then you only take away a piece of
' 1 ' each time. You can do that more times than the number in
the dividend, because you only take away a piece each time.

Answer:
(x, y) = (3, 12)
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the given variable definitions, we can write the equations ...
y = x + 9
2(x +y) = 30
__
Solving the second equation for y, we have ...
y = 15 -x
Substituting this into the first equation gives ...
15 -x = x +9
6 = 2x . . . . . . . . . add x-9
3 = x . . . . . . . . . . divide by 2
y = 3+9 = 12 . . . . substitute into the first equation
The numbers are (x, y) = (3, 12).

6 > 4
that would be the letter d :)
each value of x has a unique value of y
Answer:
x-5=-3
Step-by-step explanation:
|x-5|+2=5
|x-5|=5-2
|x-5|=3
x-5=±3
so x-5=-3 is a correct step.
