aleeboo21: The two largest deserts in the world are the Sahara Desert and the Australian Desert. The sum of their areas is 13 million square kilometeres. The area of the Sahara Desert is 5 million square kilometeres more than the area of the Australian Desert. Write and solve a system of equations to find the area of each desert.
I want you to at least have a go at starting this yourself.
Let the area of the Sahara desert be S million square km and
Let the area of the Australian desert be A million square km
Set up 2 separate equations to describe the 2 facts that you have been given.
(Just an annoyance but there is NO desert called the Australian desert)
Get back to the forum after you attempt this please.
