To solve this you can multiply the second equation by to get
3x+6y =18
Then you can subtract it by the first equation to get
7y= 14
And get y= 2
Then you plug in y to one of the equations to find that x=2
Michael is x. Michelle is y.
x+y=27
x-5=y
Substitute y
x+(x-5)= 27
2x-5=27
2x=32
x=16
Plug in x value
(16)+y=27
y=11
Final answer: Michael-16, Michelle-11
I am prerty sure it is 1/3 because 5 is 1/3 of 15 and 15 is 1/3 of 45
500= 120+20x, where x is weeks
Subtract 120 from both sides
380=20x
Divide both sides by 20
19=x
19 weeks*7 days per week= 133 days
Final answer: 133 days
