The sum of two numbers is 82. their difference is 24. write a system of equations that describes this situation. solve by elimination to find the two numbers. a. x y = 82 x – y = 24 53 and 29 b. x y = 82 x – y = 24 48 and 24 c. x y = 24 y – x = 82 48 and 30 d. x – y = 82 x y = 24 52 and 30

The value of x and y is 53 and 29 respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Let the two numbers are x and y.

The sum of two numbers is 82.

Their difference is 24.

Now solve the equation by elimination method.

Now, substitute the value of x in .

Hence, the value of x and y is 53 and 29 respectively.

b. 1.25 hr

step-by-step explanation:

if you have a constant speed of 60 mph, then you have a ratio between 60 mi. to 1 hr. dividing both sides by 60 we get the ratio

1 mi. to

then mult. both sides by 75 we get the ratio

75 mi. to

simplifying we get

75 mi. to

or 1.25 hr.
