Answer:

Clue#1: 6x+4y=550

Clue #2: 1/2x+4y=1000

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to analyze the information given:

The first number will be x, and the second number y:

<em>The sum of six times the first number and four times the second number is equal to 550 </em>

Six times the first number means that the first number must be multiplied by 6.(6x); the same for four times the second number (4x).

6x+4y=550

<em>The sum of half the first number and four times the second number is equal to 1000 </em>

Half the first number means the first number (x) divided by 2,or multiplied by 1/2.

1/2x+4y=1000
