Answer:
A) 4
Step-by-step explanation:
There are a couple of ways to get this but this is how I did it:
1. Multiply the second equation by 1/4 to get the same fraction for y as the one in the first equation
1/4 x + 1/8 y = 2
1/4 (1/3 x + 1/2 y = 4)
1/12 x + 1/8 y = 1
2. Subtract the first equation from the new equation
1/12 x + 1/8 y = 1
<u> - 1/4 x - 1/8 y = -2</u>
-1/6 x= -1
3. Divide both sides by -1/6
<u>-1/6</u> x= <u>-1</u>
-1/6 -1/6
x = 6
4. Substitute 4 in for x in the original equation:
1/4 (6) + 1/8y = 2
6/4 + 1/8y = 2
1/8y = 1/2
y = 4
He is 40 mins away form home because he is going 65 mi/hr = 1 min per mile
hopefully that helps you make an equation
13x - 11y = -12
-13x -13x
___________
-11y = -13x - 12
___ ______
-11 -11
-13x -12
y = _______
-11
