Solve the system of linear equations below by graphing. x-y=17 and 3x+y=3

x=5,y=-12

Step-by-step explanation:

You add the two equations to get: 4x=20

Then you get x=5.

You plug this in to x-y=17 to get y=-12

The answer is x=5 and y=-12

let x and 400 - x be the two numbers.  

==> 0.80x + 0.85(400 - x) = 400 - 68 from the statement of the problem.  

< ==> 0.80x + 0.85(400 - x) = 400 - 68  

==> 340 - 0.05x = 332  

< ==> -0.05x = -8 ==> x = 160, the first number ==> 400 - x = 240, the second number.
