You can set up an system of equations
x=2y+8
x-y=25

Substitute x in to the second equation
2y+8-y=25
y+8=25
y=17

Substitute the y back in to the first equation.
x=2(17)+8=42

Please, share the goal of the problem.  If Carrie works 40 hours per week and spends 15% of her time at the register, how much time does she NOT spend at the register?

Which of the following is the equation of a line that passed though the points (2,5) and (4,3)
STatiana [176]

The correct answer is C as it has the same line of equation. We can make this clear by verifying that these two points make the same equation or not. So as we can see if we calculate the gradient using the formula y2 - y1 / x2 - x1.

As we now know that the gradient is -1. We can simply put any one point in the equation y - y1 = m(x - x1) to get the line of equation. WHen we calculate the line of equation it come out to be y = -x + 7
