1) x+y = 170
x-y = 26
2) Subtract the two equations from each other. Doing this you get 2y = 56.
So the value of y is 28. Then plug in the value of y into any of the two equations and solve for x.
x-28 = 26
x = 54
3) When writing solutions as an ordered pair, the x value always comes first followed by the y value. So it would be (54, 28).

Rates Question
12 A highway had a landslide, where 3,000 cubic yards of material fell on the road, requiring 200 dump truck loads to clear. On another highway, a slide left 40,000 cubic yards on the road. How many dump truck loads would be needed to clear this slide?
3,000 yd3 = 200 dtl
40,000 yd3 × 200 dtl = 2,667 dtl
3, 000 yd3
