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

morpeh [17]

If we have the speed of 18 miles per second, 18miles/s
to find out what is the speed in 1 minute we will need to multiply 18 by 60, as there are 60 seconds in 1 minute
18 miles..............................1 second
?miles..................................60 seconds(1min)
18*60=1080 miles
we have 1080 miles/minute
in 2 minutes we have 1080*2=2160 miles
hope it helps
