Subtract 6.75 from 15.2 to find what he did on Sunday, because supposed the number of miles he ran on Sunday was x. Therefore, the formula should be x + 6.75 = 15.2
Solve that, and you should get that Jim ran 8.45 miles on Sunday.
<h3><u>The value of the smaller number, y, is equal to 9.</u></h3><h3><u>The value of the larger number, x, is equal to 12.</u></h3>
x + y = 21
x = 2y - 6
We have a value for x, so we can plug it into the original equation to solve for y.
2y - 6 + y = 21
Combine like terms.
3y - 6 = 21
Add 6 tot both sides.
3y = 27
Divide both sides by 3.
y = 9
Now that we have a value for x, we can plug it into the 2nd equation to solve for x.
x = 2(9) - 6
x = 18 - 6
x = 12
Hello :)
Each car would contain 4 people. We can find this answer by dividing 60 by 15
60÷15= 4
So, again, there would be 4 people in each car. Hope this helps
