Answer:
2x-5= -20
move -5 to the other side
sign changes from -5 to 5
2x-5+5= -20+5
2x= -15
divide by 2 for both sides
2x/2= -15/2
cross out 2 and 2, divide by 2 and 2 and then becomes x
x= -15/2
There are going to be two solutions because the "biggest" x is x^2 but you can factor to find what they actually are.
Answer:
when x=4, the value of y is the answer.
when x=4,we can see that the value of y is 1

The questions asks about Combinations of Pizza toppings, so by employing the Combination Formula:


Answer:
the larger number is 69
the smaller number is 16
Step-by-step explanation:
x is the smaller number
y is the larger number
x + y = 85
y - 4x = 5
y = 5 + 4x
x + 5 + 4x = 85
5x = 80
x = 16
y = 69
