Write an expression representing the unknown quantity. at a recent motorcycle rally the number of men exceeded the number of women by 300. if x represents the number of women, write an expression for the number of men. the number of men can be represented by the the expression

x = 6, y = 9 is the solution to the given system of equations.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the system of the equations is:

Now, substitute the value of y in the second equation, we get

⇒

or, [tex]\frac{5x + 12x}{3}  = 34[/tex}

or, 17x = 3 x 34 = 102

So, x = 102 / 17 = 6

⇒x = 6  :  putting this in (1),

y = -4x + 33 = - 24 + 33 = 9

Hence, x = 6, y = 9 is the solution to the given system of equations.
