Answer:

first car = 35, second car= 15

Step-by-step explanation:

40x+15y=1625

x+y=50

multiplying the 2nd by -15 and add the 2 equations, we get x= 35 and by substituting on second equation we get y= 15

JulijaS [17]

Let x and y be the two numbers.  

x = y - 4  

2y = 5x - 10  

solve the system of equations:  

2y = 5(y - 4) - 10  

2y = 5y - 20 - 10  

-3y = -30  

y = 10  

x = 10 - 4 = 6

borishaifa [10]

Answer:

a)  66

b)  45

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 12 horses and after the first race 2 of them have to be eliminated

that condition is equal to consider that 10 horses will be available for the second race.

The number of possiblities we have for the first race is the combination of 12 horses in group of 10

C¹²₁₀   =  12!/ (2!)* (12-2)!   =  12*11/2   = 66

For the second race

C¹⁰₈  = 10! / 8! * (10-8)!   =   10*9/ 2   = 45

2(x-3)=5(x-3)+10<br><br><br> Need urgent help
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

2(x-3)=5(x-3)+10

=> 2x - 6 = 5x - 15 + 10

=> -6 + 15 -10 = 5x - 2x

=> 5x -2x = 15 - 6 - 10

=> 3x = 15 - 16

=> 3x = -1

=  > x =  \frac{ - 1}{3} (ans)
