The difference of two numbers is 3. Their sum is 13. Write a pair of simultaneous equations in x and y to represent this information.

x-y=3

x+y=13

2x=16

x=16/2

x=8

x+y=13

8+y=13

y=13-8

y=5

idk

step-by-step explanation:

maybe try   if it is work from a book, if not try

3

step-by-step explanation:

in standard form:

a= dictionaries

b= maps

you have to buy 3 dictionaries, so put a 3 next to the a (dictionaries) so that you can multiply them by each other.

a3+b= 60 (the amount of money you have)

we already know the cost of a=15 so replace a with $15

($15 x 3)+b=60

multiply 15 and 3 to get $45 and replace it with $45

45+b=60

and then replace b with 15 to get the total:

45+15=60

that means you have $15 left after buying 3 dictionaries.

15 divided by the cost of a map ($5) equals 3.

so you can buy 3 maps.

sorry if it was confusing!
