The answer to the question
2- 54:81, 54/81
3- 0:101, 0/101
4- 13.5:43.8, 13.5/43.8
Make two equations. Then solve. Let t and b represent the numbers of pages in the Tax Code and Bible, respectively.
t - b = 18,528 . . . . . tax code exceeds Bible by 18,528 pages
t + b = 21,472 . . . . .together, they total 21,472 pages
Add the two equations.
2t = 40,000
t = 20,000
The number of pages in the tax code is 20,000.
EXPLANATION:
To get the solution of the simultaneous equation, using the elimination method:
We will have the following steps:
Step 1:
Write the two equations:

Step2: Subtract the two equations:

Step 3: Simplify the expression

Step 4: Substitute x=-2 into the formula:
