The number of years that Zach has been on the soccer team is 2 less than 5 times the number of years that Anderson has. In total, the boys have been on
the soccer team for 10 years. How long has each boy been on the soccer team?

Step-by-step explanation:

let x be the number of years that Zach has been on the soccer team and y the number of years Anderson has been on the soccer team.

So, reading our problem it seems that

x=5y-2

x+y=10

replacing x on the second formula we take that 5y-2+y=10

6y-2=10

6y=12

y=2

so x=5y-2=5*2-2=10-2=8

To check the division problem , there are steps

Step 1. First perform the division problem.

Step 2. Multiply the quotient and the divisor.

Step 3. Add the remainder to the product of quotient and divisor.

Step 4. The final answer should be equal to the dividend.

For example to divide 65 by 2

Here, Dividend=65 , Divisor=2

After perform division, we get Quotient=32 and remainder=1

To check:-

32×2+1=64+1=65→ Dividend
