Answer:x=3 and y=15

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we are told "sum of 5 times one number, x, and 4 times a second number, y, is 75":

5x+4y=75 (1)

Then, we are told "he sum of the two numbers is 18":

x+y=18 (2)

At this point we have our system of equations and now we are able to find the values of x and y.

So, let's begin by isolating x from (2):

x=18-y (3)

Substituting (3) in (1):

5(18-y)+4y=75 (4)

Finding y:

90-5y+4y=75

y=15 (5) This is the value of y

Substituting (5) in (1):

5x+4(15)=75 (6)

Finding y:

5x+60=75 (7)

x=3 (8) This is the value of x

Suppose it takes 2 1/2 h to drive from your house to the lake at 48 mi/h. How long will your return trip take at 40 mi/h?
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer

The distance from the house to the lake is (2.5 hr)*(48 mi/hr) = 120 miles. The rerurn trip would take (120 mi)/(40 mi/hr) = 3 hours. Distance equals rate times time, so the distance to the lake is 2 1/2 hours times 48 miles per hour.

I hope this helps
