Um ok I'm on around this time everyday
Bill and Joe have 60 dollars between them. Bill has half as much as Joe.
so Bill = B and Joe = J
20 (B) + 40 (J) = 60
Bill has half the amount of Joe, and so 40/2 = 20
subtract 60 from 20 (the answer for Bill) and you get 40, (the answer for Joe)
hope this helps
Without reliable transportation, you could be late a lot, and get fired. That shows up when you apply for a new job, even if you get better transportation. If you don't want to get fired, you may not want to take the job.
You can multiply either the top or bottom equation by -1 so lets say you apply it to the bottom equation it’ll look like this:
-9x + 9y = 18
6x - 9y = 12
then the +9y and -9y will cancel out
-9x = 18
6x =12
then you add the two equations together
-3x = 30
divide both sides by -3
x = -10
