The two problems are almost identical: you have to set up a system, and then solve it.
In the first case, let
and
be, respectively, the number of girls and boys.
We know that
(the number of girls in the Spanish Club is four more than twice the number of boys). Also, we know that
(there are 61 students in total).
So, we have the system
![\begin{cases}g=2b+4\\g+b=61\end{cases}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbegin%7Bcases%7Dg%3D2b%2B4%5C%5Cg%2Bb%3D61%5Cend%7Bcases%7D)
We can use the first equation to substitute in the second
![g+b=61 \iff (2b+4)+b=61 \iff 3b+4=61 \iff 3b=57 \iff b=19](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=g%2Bb%3D61%20%5Ciff%20%282b%2B4%29%2Bb%3D61%20%5Ciff%203b%2B4%3D61%20%5Ciff%203b%3D57%20%5Ciff%20b%3D19)
And then solve for
:
![g=2b+4=2\cdot 19+4=38+4=42](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=g%3D2b%2B4%3D2%5Ccdot%2019%2B4%3D38%2B4%3D42)
For the second problem, let
and
be the number of pins knocked down by, respectively, Carrie and John. Just like before, we have the system
And you can solve it in the very same way we solved the previous one.

Answer:
-1/3 - (-5/12) = 1/12.
Step-by-step explanation:
Simpler equation:
6/12 + (-5/12) = 1/12
Or This:
6/12 - 5/12 = 1/12.
hope this helped.
Answer:
25/40=13/20
Step-by-step explanation:
just add 9 and 17 which is 26. so it's 26/40. simplify so it's 13/20
