How many minutes is it before 12 noon if 68 minutes ago it was three times as many minutes past 10 a.m.?​
umka21 [38]
If 68 minutes ago it (then) was three times as many minutes past 10 am (now)

x + 68 = 3 ×
×
(120 - x) →
→
x = 73 min
… if 68 minutes ago it (now) was three times as many minutes past 10 am (then)

x = 3 ×
×
[120 - (x + 68)] →
→
x = 39 min
… if 68 minutes ago it (then) was three times as many minutes past 10 am (then)

x + 68 = 3 ×
×
[120 - (x + 68)] →
→
x = 22 min

Solve the system of equations. Show ALL your work. Put your answer in the form of an ordered pair (x, y)
stiv31 [10]
This should be easy because we just have to use substitution method. Substitute the value of x from the second equation into the x of the first equation. 
                         -4(2y) + 11y = 15
                         -8y + 11y = 15
                                   3y = 15   ; y = 5
Substitute this value of y to either the first or second equation.
                                        x = 2(5) = 10
The ordered pair is therefore (10,5).
