Let x and y be the numbers;
We have x + 2y = 9 and 2x + y = 21;
Then, x = 9 - 2y;
Finally, 2(9-2y) + y = 21 ;
18 - 4y + y = 21;
18 - 3y = 21;
-3y = 3;
y = - 1;
x = 9 - 2× (-1);
x = 9 + 2 ;
x = 11;

Oliver works at a book store.He packed 20 identical paperbacks and 9 identical textbooks in a box .The total mass of the book wa
Natasha_Volkova [10]
Let x be the mass of the paperbacks and y be the mass of the textbook.

20x + 9y = 44.4 ----------- (1)
25x + 10y = 51 -------------(2)

(1) x 10:
200x + 90y = 444 --------(1a)

(2) x 9:
225x + 90y = 459 --------(2a)

(2a) - (1a):
25x = 15
x = 0.6 -------- sub into (1)

20 (0.6) + 9y = 44.4
12 + 9y = 44.4
9y = 44.4 - 12
9y = 32.4
y = 3.6 

So the paperback's mass is 0.6 pounds and textbook is 3.6 pounds

The shortest route from London to York is 200 miles.
vovikov84 [41]

Answer: The lorry is traveling 10 mph over the expected speed.

Step-by-step explanation:

If 200 miles takes 4 hours, the speed is 200mi/4hr which  is 50 mph.

If the distance is increased by 20%, the distance is 240 miles.

240mi/4hr = 60mph

The difference is 10mph
