Answer:

y=7

Step-by-step explanation:

We have two numbers,  

x

,

y

. We know two things about them:

2

x

+

y

=

25

3

x

−

y

=

20

Let's add these two equations together which will cancel the  

y

:

5

x

+

0

y

=

45

x

=

45

5

=

9

We can now substitute in the  

x

value into one of the original equations (I'll do both) to get to  

y

:

2

x

+

y

=

25

2

(

9

)

+

y

=

25

18

+

y

=

25

y

=

7

3

x

−

y

=

20

3

(

9

)

−

y

=

20

27

−

y

=

20

Luden [163]
Well, it's the average amount of time, so add 26.1 + 24.3 + 32.8 + 18.2. That equals 101.4 seconds or 1 minute and 41.4 seconds.
