X + y = 10

Rewrite as y = 10-x

Y - x = 6

Replace y

10-x -x = 6

Simplify:

10-2x = 6

Subtract 10 from both sides:

-2x = -4

Divide both sides by -2:

X = 2

Now replace x in the first equation:

2 + y = 10

Subtract 2 from both sides:

Y = 8

The two numbers are 8 and 2

Abby rode the Metro bus 4 miles farther than James rode. The sum of their distances traveled is 28 miles. How far did James ride
ohaa [14]
A. define the variables : a = abby's miles, j = james' miles

b. a = j + 4......j = a - 4

c. a + j = 28
    a = j + 4
    
 d. (j + 4) + j = 28
      2j + 4 = 28
      2j = 28 - 4
      2j = 24
       j = 24/2
       j = 12
  
       a = j + 4
       a = 12 + 4
       a = 16

e. check..
     a + j = 28
     16 + 12 = 28
      28 = 28 (correct)

solution is : abby's miles (a) = 16
                   james' miles (j) = 12

sophie was 28 years old when daughter Nichole was born. In how many years will Sophie be two years less than still times Nichole
Kamila [148]
It will take 6 years for that to happen. 

You can find this by setting Nichole's age as x and Sophie's age as x + 28 since she will always be 28 years older. 

Now we are looking for a time that Sophie's age is equal to 2 less than 6 times Nichole's age. So we can set up the below equation. 

6(x) - 2 = x + 28
6x - 2 = x + 28
5x - 2 = 28
5x = 30
x = 6

This let's us know that it needs to be when Nichole is 6, which is 6 years in the future.

Write equations for the horizontal and vertical lines passing through the point (-2,-5).
erastova [34]

Answer:

  • y = -5
  • x = - 2

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

The horizontal line has same y- coordinate for each x- coordinate, and is parallel to the x-axis so it is:

  • y = - 5

The vertical line has same x- coordinate for each y- coordinate, and is parallel to the y-axis so it is:

  • x = - 2
