Answer:

1 and 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the smaller number x and the larger number y.

This means 5y+2x=5.

Also, 4y-x=4.

This is a system of equations. There are two main ways two solve this.

Method 1: Substitution

5y+2x=5

4y-x=4

Solve for one of the variables, then substitute it back into one of the equations to solve for the other variable.

I will take 4y-x=4 and solve for x.

4y=4+x

x=4y-4

Then substitute for x in the other equation and solve for y.

5y+2x=5

5y+2(4y-4)=5

5y+8y-8=5

13y=13

y=1

Now we can go back to our equation for x and substitute for y.

x=4y-4

x=4(1)-4=0

y, the larger number, is 1 and

x, the smaller number, is 0

Method 2: Elimination

5y+2x=5

4y-x=4

Change the equations so that the coefficient of one of the variables in an equation is opposite the one in the other equation. Then add the equations and solve for each variable.

If I multiply both sides of the second equation, 4y-x=4, by 2, the coefficient of x will become -2. In the first equation, the coefficient is 2, so they will become opposites.

4y-x=4

becomes

8y-2x=8

Now we have 5y+2x=5 and 8y-2x=8.

Add the sides of both equations to cancel the x values.

5y+2x+8y-2x=5+8

13y=13

y=1

like last time, we can substitute for y in any of the original equations to get x.

5y+2x=5

5(1)+2x=5

5+2x=5

2x=0

x=0

y, the larger number, is 1 and

x, the smaller number, is 0

Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

11 games

Step-by-step explanation:

17+6=23

23/2=11.5

Victoria can play 11 games. You'd usually round up, but in this case you can't play half a game so she'll play 11 games and have one quarter leftover.

Sara works 40 hours per week and earns $660. Which graph shows the unit rate for this situation?
coldgirl [10]

Answer: $16.5/hour

Step-by-step explanation:

The unit rate is the relationship between y and x if x = 1

660/40 = 16.5

That means, if x = 1, y = 16.5

Therefore, <u>$16.5/hour</u>
