x = months in Portugal
y = months in Brazil
x + y = 14
130x + 150y = 1920
In the first equation, we will isolate x by subtracting y from both sides:
x + y - y = 14 - y
x = 14 - y
Now we will substitute this into the second equation:
130(14 - y) + 150y = 1920
Using the distributive property,
130*14 - 130*y + 150y = 1920
1820 - 130y + 150y = 1920
Combining like terms,
1820 + 20y = 1920
Subtract 1820 from both sides:
1820 + 20y - 1820 = 1920 = 1820
20y = 100
Divide both sides by 20:
20y/20 = 100/20
y = 5
Now substitute this back into the first equation:
x + 5 = 14
x + 5 - 5 = 14 - 5
x = 9
He lived in Portugal 9 months and Brazil 5 months.
