Let the two numbers be larger x and smaller y

The sum of two numbers is 12

x + y = 12

Their difference is 2

x - y = 2

x = 2 + y

Now substituting value of x from


x + y = 12

2 + y + y = 12

2 + 2y = 12

2y = 12 - 2

2y = 10

y = 10/2

y = 5

Substituting the value of y to derive value of x

x = 2 + y

x = 2 + 5

y = 7

The two numbers are larger 7 and smaller 5

Three out of evry 45 tickets sold in a food bank raffle will win a prize.If Eli bought 15 tickets, how many prizes would he expe
evablogger [386]

i would say you need to divide 45 and 3. then subtract 45 and 15. then with those two numbers you need to put the amount from 45 / 3 on the top and the 15-45 on the bottom. you will get the probability.

juan and debbie each earn 9 per hour at their "jobs." Debbie worked five hours more than juan during the week. if juan and debbi
Vaselesa [24]

Using a system of equations, it is found that Debbie worked 45 hours during the week.

<h3>What is a system of equations?</h3>

A system of equations is when two or more variables are related, and equations are built to find the values of each variable.

In this problem, the variables are:

  • Variable x: Amount of hours worked by Juan.
  • Variable y: Amount of hours worked by Debbie.

Juan and Debbie each earn 9 per hour at their "jobs", and earned a total of 765 for the week, hence:

9x + 9y = 765

Simplifying the expression by 9:

x + y = 85 -> x = 85 - y.

Debbie worked five hours more than juan during the week, hence:

y = x + 5.

Since x = 85 - y, we replace in the expression:

y = 85 - y + 5.

2y = 90.

y = 45.

Debbie worked 45 hours during the week.
