Answer:

Larger is -30

Smaller is -20

Step-by-step explanation:

-50/2 = -25

-25 - 5 = -30

-25 + 5 = -20

Hope this helps :)

Answer:

be careful how you answer this

the larger number (y) = - 20

the smaller number (x) = - 30

Think money. Which would you rather be: 20 dollars in the hole or 30 dollars.

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = -50

<u>x - y = -10</u> Add

2x = - 60 Divide both sides by 2

2x/2 = -60/2 Do the division

x = - 30

=============

-30 - y = - 10 Substitute - 30 for x in the second equation

-30+30- y = -10 + 30 Add 30 to both sides

-y = +20 Divide by -1 on both sides

y = - 20

Alenkasestr [34]

If it dropped 2° every hour then after 3 hours it would drop (2*3=6) 6°

1/4 of 2 is 0.5 this will be added to the 3 hours to get the answer for 31/4 hours

6 + 0.5 = 6.5°

Evan spent 20 hours doing homework last week. This week he spent 25 hours doing homework. He says that he spent 125% more time d

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

yes he is correct. he spent 125% more time

Step-by-step explanation:

his original time spent was 20 hours

he spent a new time which is 25 hours

increased time = 25- 20 = 5 hours

% increase = increase/ original ×100%

%increase = 5/ 20 ×100%

= 1/4 ×100%

= 25%

total increment = 100 + 25 =125%

which statement is true about the equations -3x+4y=12 and 1 over 4 x - 1 over 3 y =1 A) The system of the equations has exactly

Citrus2011 [14]

Hi again :)

We need to solve -3x+4y=12 for x

Let's start by adding -4y to both sides

-3x+4y-4y=12-4y

-3x=-4y+12

x = (-4y+12)/-3

x= 4/3 y -4

Now substitute 4/3 y -4 for x in 1/4 x - 1/3 y =1

1/4 x -1/3 y =1

1/4 (4/3 y -4) -1/3 y =1

Use the distributive property

(1/4)(4/3 y) + (1/4)(-4) -1/3 y =1

1/3 y -1 - 1/3 y =1

Now combine like terms

(1/3y -1/3y) + (-1) =1

= -1

-1 = 1

Now add 1 to both sides

0=2

So there are no Solutions

The answer is C

I hope that's help Will :)
