Answer:

x= 8 y= 1

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you identify your variables:

x= larger number

y= smaller number

Second, you find your equations:

x - y = 7

2x + 3y = 19

Third, (I used the substitution method) you make "y" by itself for the 1st equation.

y = x - 7

2x + 3y = 19

Then, you plug in the 1st equation for "y" in the 2nd equation

2x + 3(x - 7) = 19

Then, you distribute and simplify.

2x + 3x - 21 = 19

5x - 21 = 19

5x = 40

x = 8

Finally, you plug in the variable you found ( x ) into one of the equations and solve,

8 - y = 7

- y = -1

y = 1

16 3/4 hours in two days plan to work 12 3/4 hour the next two days. How many hours will u total on your time sheet for these 4

sergiy2304 [10]

let's firstly convert the mixed fractions to improper fractions and then add up all four days.

$\bf \stackrel{mixed}{16\frac{3}{4}}\implies \cfrac{16\cdot 4+3}{4}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{67}{4}}~\hfill \stackrel{mixed}{12\frac{3}{4}}\implies \cfrac{12\cdot 4+3}{4}\implies \cfrac{47}{4} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{all 4 days summed up}}{\cfrac{67}{4}+\cfrac{47}{4}}\implies \cfrac{67+47}{4}\implies \cfrac{114}{4}\implies \cfrac{57}{2}\implies 28\frac{1}{2}$
