1/4 =2/8+3/8 =5/8
1-5/8=3/8
If Jackson went to the movies and payed $7 initially for his ticket and then payed $2 for each box of candy that he buys, then the equation could look like this: y = 2x + 7, where y represents the total cost and x represents the number of boxes of candy Jackson buys.
X - 2y = -24
x - y = 4
Isolate x in the first equation by adding 2y to both sides.
x = -24 + 2y
Now plug in this value of x into the second equation.
(-24 + 2y) - y = 4
Solve. Combine all like terms, 2y - y.
-24 + y = 4
Add 24 to both sides to isolate y.
y = 28
Now plug y back into the first equation to find x.
x - 2(28) = -24
x - 56 = -24
Add 56 to both sides to isolate x.
x = 32
The solution is (32, 28).
85÷17=5
