His work should have looked like this.
2x + y = 5
x − 2y = 10
y = 5 − 2x
x − 2(5 − 2x) = 10
x − 10 + 4x = 10
5x − 10 = 10 When he added in both sides, he subtracted 10 from 10,
5x = 20 instead of adding 10 from 10 to make 20.
x = 4
2(4) + y = 5
8 + y = 5
y = -3
If one gallon = 4 quarts
Then 5 gallons = x quarts
To solve this we can set up a porportion
1/4 = 5/x
To solve the porportion we need to find the rule so how to we get to 4 from 1? Well we can multiply 1 by 4 to get one right?
So if this is true, 1 x 4 = 4 then 5 x 4 must equal x
5 x 4 = 20 so the answer would be 20 quarts are in 5 gallons
Another way to look at this is that you have 5 gallons and in each gallon is 4 quarts to if there is 4 quarts in every one gallon then that’s just 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 or 5 x 4
I hope this helps! <3

Answer:
r = √98
Step-by-step explanation:
angle A and the diameter form an isosceles right triangle, with OA as the hypotenuse and r as the other sides. You can then make and solve an equation from the Pythagorean Theorem:
r^2 + r^2 = 14^2
2r^2 = 14^2
2r^2 = 196
r^2 = 98
r = √98

Let the number of students in the class be x
Let the number of pieces of gum she gave out be 3x
Equation
3x + 8 = 168 This will not work out evenly. Let's try x - 1. The reason for that is because she may not give out anything to herself.
3(x - 1) + 8 = 168 This doesn't work either.
Well we have to choose. It's a rounding problem.
3x + 8 = 168 Subtract 8 from both sides.
3x = 168 - 8 Combine
3x = 160 Divide by 3 on both sides.
x = 160 / 3
x = 53.333333333
Since that can't be, we could say there were 53 students.
