Answer:

The numbers are 11 and 49.

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>x = 5y - 6 </em> This is just the first sentence written as an equation.

<em>x + y = 60</em> This is just the second sentence written as an equation.

<em>5y - 6 + y = 60</em> Substitute x for what you know it is equal to

<em>6y - 6 = 60</em> Collect like terms

<em>6y = 66</em> Add 6 to each side

<em>y = 11</em> Divide each side by 6

<em>x = 5 × 11 - 6 </em> Substitute y for what you know it is

<em>x = 55 - 6</em> Simplify by working out 5 × 11 = 55

<em>x = 49</em> Subtract 6 from 55 to get 49

18 2/5 - n = -10 1/3
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

The answer is n=28\frac{11}{15}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

18 2/5 - n = -10 1/3.

Now, to solve the equation:

18\frac{2}{5} - n = -10 \frac{1}{3}

Converting the mixed fractions to improper:

⇒\frac{92}{5} -n=-\frac{31}{3}

Moving the numbers on one side and variable to the other:

⇒\frac{92}{5} +\frac{31}{3}=n

Now, solving the factions:

⇒\frac{92\times 3+31\times 5}{15}=n

⇒\frac{276+155}{15}=n

⇒\frac{431}{15}=n

⇒28\frac{11}{15}=n

Therefore, the answer is n=28\frac{11}{15}.
