The sum of two numbers is 13 and their difference is 3. write and solve a system of equations to find the value of the two numbers.

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the 2 numbers be x and y with x > y, then

x + y = 13 → (1)

x - y = 3 → (2)

Add (1) and (2) term by term

2x = 16 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 8

Substitute x = 8 into (1)

8 + y = 13 ( subtract 8 from 13 )

y = 5

The 2 numbers are 5 and 8 → C

i think there was a typo. you wrote pat brings 3 quarts of ice-cream to the party. each serving of ice-cream is 1 6 quart. how many total servings of ice-cream does pat bring to the party? i think the bold is supposed to be 1/6. so 1 quart of ice cream = 6 servings. 6 * 3 = 18.
