5x +4y=23
-5(x-4y=-5)

5x+4y=23
+(-5x+20y=25)

24y=48
y=2

Now plug y value into one of the equations and solve for x

X-4(2)=-5
X-8=-5
X=3

So the answer is (3,2)

cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

The possible number that Hall could be thinking of is 144.

Step-by-step explanation:

Difference between 17 and the square root of my mystery number

This is represented by:

$17 - \sqrt{x}$

is 5

Then:

$17 - \sqrt{x} = 5$

What are two possible numbers that Hall could be thinking of?

We have to solve the equation, for x. So

$17 - \sqrt{x} = 5$

$\sqrt{x} = 12$

$(\sqrt{x})^2 = (12)^2$

$x = 144$

The possible number that Hall could be thinking of is 144.
