Answer: x= -189, y =252

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first number be x and second number be y

so

x + y = 63

x = 63-y

now

1/9 of x + 1/6 of y = 21

x/9 + y/6 = 21

substituting x's value from equation i

(63-y)/9 + y/6 = 21

(378-6y+9y)/54 = 21

378+3y = 1134

3y = 1134-378

so, 3y = 756

so, y = 756/3

so, y = 252

now

x = 63-252

so, x = -189

Greg and Heather each opened a savings account today. Greg opened his account with a starting amount of $330, and he is going to
cluponka [151]

Set up two equations:

Greg = 330 + 75X

Heather = 660 + 45x

Set them to equal and solve for x:

330 + 75x = 660 + 45x

Subtract 330 from both sides:

75x = 330 + 45x

Subtract 45x from both sides:

30x = 330

Divide both sides by 30:

x = 330 / 30

X = 11

11 months they will have the same amount saved.

Two of your friends, Matt and Karen, both run to you to settle a dispute. They were working on a math problem, and got different
Anna11 [10]
So in matt's equation, he made a mistake in the a transision from line 2 to line 3 
in line 2:  -4(-2)2
in line 3: -4(4) 
the mistake is that -2 times 2 is not equal +4 it is equal to -4
also from lines 5 to 6 he made a mistake in order of opperations (mulit division then addition and subtract)
line 5: -10+30/5
line 6: 20/5

so he first subtracted 10 then divided, he should have divided then subtracted
so the equation should have equaled 

Karen used the correct (-) times (+) property and the order of operations
so Karen is correct and Matt is wrong.
