Answer: x = 23 and y = 13

Explanation:

let x and y be the two number.

Where:

(x + y)/2 = 18 => x + y = 18 x 2 = 36

and:

x - y = 10

Thus we get:

x + y = 36 (1)
x - y = 10 (2)

Add (1) and (2):
x + y + x - y = 36 + 10
2x = 46
x = 23

If x = 23

then x - y = 10
23 - y = 10
-y = -13
y = 13

A food pantry distributes 10-ounce bags of flour. A supermarket donates nine 5-pound bags to the pantry. How many 10-ounce bags
DanielleElmas [232]
Given:
nine 5 pound bags 
distributed into 10-ounce bags

1 pound = 16 ounces

9 x 5 pounds = 45 pounds

45 pounds * 16 ounces/lbs = 45 * 16 oz = 720 ounces

720 ounces / 10 ounce bags = 720/10 = 72 bags.

The workers at the food pantry will be able to make 72 bags.

A system of equations that has at least one solution is called inconsistent.
solmaris [256]

False. Because if it has one then it is consistent.

Source: If a consistent system has an infinite number of solutions, it is dependent . When you graph the equations, both equations represent the same line. If a system has no solution, it is said to be inconsistent. (https://www.varsitytutors.com/hotmath/hotmath.../consistent-and-dependent-systems)
