Question

Four Times a number r plus half a number s equals seventeen. Twice the number r plus one-quarter of the number s equals five. What are the two​ numbers?

Answer 1

We can solve this by finding a system of two equations.

The first equation: 4r + (1/2)s = 17

The second equation: 2r + (1/4)s = 5

Now you can solve the problem through substitution or elimination methods.
