Step-by-step explanation:
x = number of multiple choice questions
y = number of short response questions
x + y = 15
5x + 10y = 100
=>
x + 2y = 20
let's subtract the first from the second equation :
x + 2y = 20
- x + y = 15
--------------------
0 y = 5
x + y = 15
x + 5 = 15
x = 10
to graph you need to consider both equations as linear functions. and you need to transform them into e.g. a slope intercept form : y = ax + b
a is the slope, b is the y- intercept.
x + y = 15
transforms to
y = -x + 15
this line goes e.g. through the points (0, 15) and (1, 14).
and
x + 2y = 20
transforms to
2y = -x + 20
y = -x/2 + 10
this line goes e.g through (0, 10) and (2, 9).
the crossing point of both lines is the solution and should therefore be the point (10, 5) as calculated above.
The answer is 1.75
because the cost on the y axis goes by fourths
Harry can rake the leaves in the yard 8 hours faster than his little brother Jimmy can.

1- 0.25= 0.75 (multiplier)
33÷0.75=44
The suitcase originally weighed 44kg
Hope this helps!
