Step-by-step explanation:
the numbers : x, y
x + y = 8
x = y - 4
we use the second equation in the first :
y - 4 + y = 8
2y - 4 = 8
2y = 12
y = 6
x = y - 4 = 6 - 4 = 2
Let
x------> height of Leon's older brother
y------> height of Leon
Convert mixed number to an improper fraction

we know that
-----> equation A
-----> equation B
substitute equation A in equation B

Convert to mixed number

therefore
<u>the answer is</u>

Answer:
x + 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
v = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
6(v+2) - 7v = 6 + 5v
open Parentheses
6*v=6v
6*2=12
New equation:
6v + 12 - 7v = 6 + 5v
simplify
12 - v = 6 + 5v
match like terms
6 = 6v
solve
1 = v
