it says a PAIR of equations anyways...

Answer 8

exactly

Answer 9

ok...next?

Answer 10

i dont get this next part...ik that if I subtract 45 from x then I will get y but idk the exact number

Answer 11

just substitute what you know inside the first equation

Answer 12

x+y=125
y+45=x

Answer 13

and so calcule the value of x and the value of y

Answer 14

????

Answer 15

x+y=125

y+45=x so y+45+y=125

yes ? solve this for y

Answer 16

80!

Answer 17

2y=80

Answer 18

y = ?

Answer 19

but why is 2y, 80??

Answer 20

bc. x+y=125 and y+45 = x

Answer 21

OHHHHHH i get it. 40

Answer 22

yes ure and now the value of x

Answer 23

sure

Answer 24

x+y=125
x+40=125
x=?

Answer 25

so is the soccer 80?

Answer 26

no golf is the y

Answer 27

ahhhh algebra stinks!

Answer 28

and y=40

Answer 29

how much you need adding to 40 to get 125 ?

Answer 30

85

Answer 31

perfect

Answer 32

soccer 85
golf 40

Answer 33

40+45=85

Answer 34

YESSSS. so it isnt possible for her to play soccer for 80 mins to get to the exact total
