X+y=78
x-y=22
Make x the subject
22+y=x
substitute in 1st equation
(22+y)+y=78
22+2y=78
y=28
place 28 in any equation
x-(28)=22
x=50
therefore one value is 28 and the other is 50
Hope this helps

Sergeeva-Olga [200]
By setting up a system of equations we can easily solve this problem. Let's denote Jane's working hours with x and Jack's working hours with y. Since they don't want to work more than 65 hours, the first equation is x+y=65. The second equation is 14x+7y=770. By solving this system of equation \left \{ {{x+y=65} \atop {14x+7y=770}} \right., we find that y=20 hours, which is Jack's maximum working hours.

Answer:

130 milliliters.

Step-by-step explanation:

a drug has a ratio of 115mg:5ml. This is equivalent to 23mg:1ml. 3g=3000mg, so we divide 3000 by 23 to get 130.434783. That is how many milliliters are needed. We round it to get 130 mL.
