Answer:

137.5 lbs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Arthur = 54 + x

Lily = x

Arthur + Lily = 6x - 280

(54 + x) + x = 6x - 280

54 + x + x = 6x - 280

54 + 2x = 6x - 280

54 = 4x - 280

334 = 4x

83.5 = x

Arthur = 54 + x

Arthur = 54 + 83.5

Arthur = 137.5

How to work -1x-2y=-13 x-2y=11 equation by substitution
Norma-Jean [14]
Well if you're wanting to use substitution, you first have to end up with one term on either side of the equation. Use the second one as it's easiest. 

So: x-2y=11, so find -2y as there is a -2y in the first equation. 
then that becomes -2y=11-x. then sub that into equation 1, and you get:

-x+11-x=-13, which equals to -2x+11=-13, which is -2x=-24, so therefore

x=12. then chuck the x into any of the equations to find what y equals. 

hope this helps!

Courtney would like to buy a new ca in 4 years. It is estimated that a new car will cost her 25,000 and that she will get 13,000
KiRa [710]

4 years=48 months

A new car costs 25,000, but she will get 13,000 for her used car as long as she takes good car of it. If she takes good care of her used car and gets 13,000 for it, she will only need to save 12,000 total. We can divide 12,000 by 48 to find out how much Courtney should save minimum each month to afford her new car. 12,000/48=250

You can check to see if this is correct by multiplying 48*250=12,000. Paying 250 for each month of the 48 months will equal the $12,000 that Courtney needs.

Courtney needs to save at least $250 per month to afford her new car in 4 years.

I hope this helps :)
