Since you need an isolated variable to use the substitution method, we need to re-arrange one of the equations. This will probably be easiest to do with the first one.
Add 5y to both sides of the first equation.
x=10+5y
Now, in the second equation, put in 10+5y in any spot that has an x.
2(10+5y)-10y=20
Distribute the 2 to both numbers in the parenthesis.
20+10y-10y=20
Combine like terms.
20=20
This means that the two equations are actually the same. You can see this if you multiply the whole first equation by 2
2(x-5y=10)
2x-10y=20, which is the same as the second equation. Therefore, the two equations are actually the same one.
Answer:
Jeff read 5/28 of a book in 1 hour.
Step-by-step explanation:
The rate given is 5/7 of a book read in 4 hours.
If the questions asks how much he read in 1 hour, it means the answer needed is a unit rate.
A unit rate is a rate per unit. In this case, a rate per hour.
Let’s find how much Jeff read in 1 hour:
5/7 in 4 hours is the rate given so:
5/7 ÷ 4
= 5/7 x 1/4
= 5/28 (already simplified/final answer)
SO, Jeff read 5/28 of the book in 1 hour.

They are integers that follow one right after another. For example the set {1,2,3,4,5} represents consecutive numbers. Another example would be {9,10,11,12,13}
In general, if x is some integer, then x+1 is the next integer right after x, and x+2 is right after x+1 and so on. The list is {x, x+1, x+2, x+3, ...} representing any general set of consecutive numbers.
Answer:
1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
if you find the LCD of the numbers, you will find that it is 8. Then, you divide both of them by 8 and you get 1/2
