Answer:

One number is 4.2, the other is 18.8

Step-by-step explanation:

1.)  x+y=23

    (x+6y)x2=4

2.) (x+6y)x2=4   =   2x+12y=4

3.)Use elimination/substitution to solve

     2x+12y=4  =   x+6y=2  =  x=2-6y

     2-6y+y=23

4.)Solve for y

     2-5y=23 -> -5y=21 -> y=4.2.

5.)Solve for x

    x+4.2=23

    x=18.8

A bus on a regular schedule takes 3 1/4 hours to reach its destination. The express bus takes 2 1/2 hours to make the same trip.

To find this answer, we should subtract 2 1/2 from 3 1/4. The simplest way to do this is to turn them into improper fractions, found the least common denominator, and subtract the numerators.

3 1/4=13/4
2 1/2=5/2

The least common multiple is 4, so we should multiply the numerator and denominator of 5/2 by 2.

5/2=10/4

Now we can just subtract the numerators.

13/4-10/4=3/4

Using the math above, we can see that it saves D. 3/4 hours.
