Answer:

first number is 5

second number is 7

Step-by-step explanation:

let x and y represent the first and second number

5x - 2y = 11 ........ equation 1

3x - 2y = 11.......... equation 2

so by elimination, equation 1 minus equation 2

5x - 3x - 2y - 2y = 11 - 1

2x = 10

x = 5

therefore the first number is 5

put x = 5 into equation 1

5x - 2y = 11

5(5) - 2y = 11

25 - 2y = 11

-2y = 11 - 25

-2y = - 14

y = 7

therefore the second number is 7

hope it helps .

Lily recieves 30 messages on her cell phone.Of those messages,1 over 5 are picture messages and 7 over 8 of the remainder are te
lesantik [10]
So we are starting out with 30 messages.

If 1/5 of the messages Lily receives are picture messages, then take 1/5 x 30 to find out how many that is.

1/5 x 30 = 30/5 = 6. So Lily receives 6 picture messages. 

If 7/8 of the remaining messages are texts, then we need to find the number of remaining messages. If 6 are pictures and she receives 30 overall, then 30 - 6 = 24, the remaining number of messages. Since we know 7/8 of <em>this </em>number is the number of texts Lily received, let's do some more multiplication:

7/8 x 24 = (7 x 24)/8 = 168/8 = 21.

So Lily received 21 text messages, 6 picture messages, and 3 of something else!
