Answer:
Clue#1: 6x+4y=550
Clue #2: 1/2x+4y=1000
Explanation:
Hi, to answer this question we have to analyze the information given:
The first number will be x, and the second number y:
The sum of six times the first number and four times the second number is equal to 550
Six times the first number means that the first number must be multiplied by 6.(6x); the same for four times the second number (4x).
6x+4y=550
The sum of half the first number and four times the second number is equal to 1000
Half the first number means the first number (x) divided by 2,or multiplied by 1/2.
1/2x+4y=1000
