This is solved by setting up two equations and then using one to answer the other.
The first step (use what is given to set up the two separate equations)
We are looking for two numbers, let us call them X and Y.
We are told that X + Y = 59
We are also told that (9 more than) 9+ (4times the smaller number) 4Y is the bigger number X
Then we combine that into 9+4Y=X
so we now have two separate equations and we can use one to solve the other. Everywhere we have X in the first equation, we will fill in with the second equation
(9+4Y) +Y = 59 [then combine like terms]
9+5Y=59 [subtract 9 from both sides]
5Y=50 [divide both sides by 5 to isolate the Y]
Y=10 [now plug this into either equation to solve for X]
9+4(10)=X
9+40=X
<u><em>49=X and 10=Y</em></u>
Answer:
Yes
Step-by-step explanation:
If you subsitute for x, x will only repeat if it has the same y value.
Answer: 407.25
Step-by-step explanation:
23 x 6.75 =155.25 25 x 4.50 = 112.50 20 x 6.75+4.50=139.50 112.50+155.25+139.50= 407.25 HOPE IT HELPS!!! : )

Answer:
Girl's basketball team has more seniors
Step-by-step explanation:
A varsity boy's basketball team has ratio of seniors to juniors that is 7:4.
Let there are 7x seniors and 4x juniors in boy's basketball team.
ATQ,
7x+4x = 12
11x = 12
x = 12/11
Seniors = 
The varsity girl's basketball team has a ratio of seniors to juniors that is 3 to 2.
Let there are 7x seniors and 4x juniors in girl's basketball team.
3x+2x = 12
5x = 12
x = 12/5
Seniors = 
As we can see that girl's basketball team has more seniors as compared to the boy's team.
