Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

"One number is eight less than a second number."

x = y-8

"Twice the first is 12 more than 4 times the second."

2x = 4y+12

substitution

2(y-8) = 4y + 12

2y - 16 = 4y + 12

2y = -28

y = -14

x = y-8 = -22

ra1l [238]
To determine when Mya will have both lessons again on the same day, you will list the multiples of each number of days because to show every 4 or 6 days, you will count by 4's and 6's.

When you get to the first number that is the same, that will be the next time she will have both lessons again.  This is called the least common multiple (LCM).

4, 8, 12, 16, 20, ...
6, 12, 18, 24

In 12 days she will have both lessons again.

prisoha [69]
You have $15 and admission is $5, so you know have $10 before doing any games. If you wanted to play 12 games, you would need $10.20, which you do not have. But, if you wanted to play 11 games, then you would need $9.35, which is just under $10.

So the maximum amount of games that you could play would be 11 games.
