Answer:

x=2, y=3

Step-by-step explanation:

y+x=5, subtract x from both sides you get, y=-x+5

since y also equals x+1, you can tell x+1=-x+5,

add x to both sides you get, 2x+1=5

subtract 1 from both sides you get, 2x=4

divide both sides by 2 and you get, x=2.

Now sub in 2 for x in any of the equations to get y.

y=x+1. y=(2)+1, y=3.

Answer:

≈ $44.4%$ $%$ %

Step-by-step explanation:

The person will wait for no more than 20 minutes if they arrive when the bus is going to stop in 20 minutes, which means that they must arrive 25 minutes after the previous bus stops. So the probability that the person will not wait for more than 20 minutes will be $\frac{20}{45}$ which is about 44.4%.
