Y = 3 - x. this is equation 1
8x + y = -4. this is equation 2
since equation 1 already defined the value of y in terms of x, we can substitute it into 2
8x + 3 - x = -4
7x = -7
x = -1
as x = -1, substitute it back into equation 1,
y = 3 - (-1)
y = 3 +1
y = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment

Solving (1): What is asked

The requirement of the question is to determine the difference between the amount of sugar used between yesterday and today

Solving (2): The given facts

$Yesterday = \frac{9}{10}kg$

$Today = \frac{3}{5}kg$

Solving (3): Operation to be used

We use subtraction operation

Solving (4): The mathematical sentence

$D = Yesterday - Today$

$D = \frac{9}{10}kg - \frac{3}{5}kg$

D represents the difference

Solving (5): The solution

$D = \frac{9}{10}kg - \frac{3}{5}kg$

Take LCM

$D = \frac{9 - 6}{10}kg$

$D = \frac{3}{10}kg$
