Each person should ride the bike for 4 miles, so that every one has to walk 8 miles and ride 4 miles.
If they had 2 bikes, each person will ride for 8 miles, 4 miles on each bike, and then walk 4 miles.
First, make sure that all the variables are in one side. The first equation is gonna be x-y=3
Second, we are going to eliminate the y because it is much easier, but you can also eliminate the x
We have to add both equation because the y in the first equation is negative and in the second equation it’s positive.
We are left with 3x=9
Therefore, x=3
Last, substitute x= 3 in one of the equations
Y=6
P.O.I is (3,6)
The graph shows the solution to be (x, y) = (-1, 3).
