To find the amount of time between two events, we can use subtraction, just like we do with regular subtraction problems. The subtraction will look something like this:

10:33
-
7:18

Like in a regular subtraction problem, we can subtract the digits that line up, like 10 and 7. Subtracting all of the corresponding digits, we get that it took Tony 3 hours and 15 minutes to finish baking the cookies.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define Systems

2x + y = 5

3x - 2y = 4

Step 2: Rewrite Systems

Manipulate 1st equation

[Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 2x on both sides: y = 5 - 2x

Step 3: Solve for x

Substitution

Substitute in y [2nd Equation]: 3x - 2(5 - 2x) = 4
[Distributive Property] Distribute -2: 3x - 10 + 4x = 4
[Addition] Combine like terms: 7x - 10 = 4
[Addition Property of Equality] Add 10 on both sides: 7x = 14
[Division Property of Equality] Divide 7 on both sides: x = 2

Step 4: Solve for y

Substitute in x [Modified 1st Equation]: y = 5 - 2(2)
Multiply: y = 5 - 4
Subtract: y = 1
