Answer:
x = 11/3 = 3 2/3
y = 13/3 = 4 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we want to solve the system of equations simultaneously
x + y = 8
2x -3 = y
From the second equation, we have an equation for y
we can simply proceed to substitute this into the first equation
x + 2x - 3 = 8
3x - 3 = 8
3x = 8 + 3
3x = 11
x = 11/3
Recall;
y = 2x - 3
y = 2(11/3) - 3
y = 22/3 - 3
y = (22-3(3))/3
y = (22-9)/3 = 13/3
I assume that you want to know the temperature at a certain timing.
Well, you know that at 12:00 pm, the temperature was 12 F and that it decreases by a steady rate of 2 F each hour.
This means that at 1:00 pm, the temperature was 12-2 = 10 F
At 2:00 pm, the temperature was 10-2 = 8 F
At 3:00 pm, it was 8-2 = 6 F
.......and so on
You can follow this sequence to the timing you are looking for.
