From 5 miles to 16 miles in 11 miles in between.
You could first solve for y, assuming x is 0, and y = 6. Then solve for x, and that means y = 4.
Answer:
No solutions
Step-by-step explanation:
3x+4y=-4
15x+20y=-22
——————————
-5(3x+4y)=-5(-4) multiply 1st equation by -5 so you can eliminate the variables
-15x-20y=20. Modified 1st equation
15x+20y=-22. 2nd equation
0+0=-2. Added two equations together
since 0 does not equal -2, there is no solution.
Hey You!
16 - 20 / 16 * 100 = 25
The percentage increase from 16 to 20 is 25%. =)
The numbers are: "7 " and "21 " .

Explanation:
_______________________________________
The numbers are: "x" and "x + 14" .
x + (x + 14) = 28 . Solve for "x" ; and then solve for "x + 14" .
_______________________________________
→ x + (x + 14) = 28 ;
Rewrite as:
→ x + x + 14 = 28 ;
→ 1x + 1x + 14 = 28 ;
→ 2x + 14 = 28 ;
Subtract "14" from each side of the equation;
→ 2x + 14 − 14 = 28 <span>− 14 ;
</span> → 2x = 14 ;
Divide EACH SIDE of the equation by "2" ;
to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; & to solve for "x" ;
→ 2x / 2 = 14 / 2 ;
→ x = 7 .
_________________________________________
So; one of the numbers is: " 7 " .
The other number is: " x + 14 " ; which equals: " 7 + 14 = 21".
The other number is: "21 " .
_________________________________________
The numbers are: "7 " and "21 " .
