Answer:
The system of equations are
x+y=557

The total pages in shorter book is 245
The total pages in longer book is 312
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
Scott has read 407 of the total number of 557 pages, which
of the shorter book and
of longer book.
Total number of pages of shorter book be x and longer book be y.
Then,
page of the shorter book 
pages of the longer book = 
So, he has read 
Total number of pages of both book is = x+y
According to the problem,
x+y=557.........(1)
.......(2)
We can write equation (2) as



......(3)
Now 18 times of equation (1) subtract from equation (3)
18x+25y=12210
18x+18y=10026
- - -
_______________
25y-18y=12,210-10,026
⇒7y=2,184

⇒y= 312
Plug y=312 in equation (1)
x+312=557
⇒x=557-312
⇒x=245
The total pages in shorter book is 245
The total pages in longer book is 312
11 is the greatest common factor
(-2)(3*4+2(-2)(-5)) = -2(12+20) = -2(32) = -64

Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation:
The value of b that makes the two lines identical is the opposite of the y-intercept of the line.
y = 6x -6 . . . . has y-intercept = -6
The value of b is the number in the term -6, so is 6.
Answer:
If there are 32 teams in the tournament and 1 winner, there were 31 games. So, 63 - 31 = 32 games.
