2x+4y=0
substitute y with 0
2x+4(0)=0
solve the equation
2x+0=0
2x=0
divide by 2 on both sides
x=0
4x+8y=7
substitute y with 0
4x+8(0)=7
solve the equation
4x+0=7
4x=7
divide by 4 on both sides
x=7/4 or x=1 3/4 or x=1.75
3x-7y=-29
2x+2y=6
solve the bottom equation
3x-7y=-29
x=3-y
substitute for x
3(3-y)-7y=-29
solve the equation
y=19/5
now substitute for y
x=3-
solve for x
x=-4/5
the possible solution of the system is the ordered pair
(x,y)=()
Answer:
36 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
His entire journey, represented with a diagram, is in the shape of a right angle triangle.
We need to first find the hypotenuse of the triangle, then, add all the sides together:
hyp² = opp² + adj²
hyp² = 9² + 12²
hyp² = 81 + 144 = 225
Find the square root of both sides:
hyp = 15 miles
Therefore, adding the three sides together:
Total distance traveled = 9 + 12 + 15
Total distance traveled = 36 miles
He would ride 36 miles altogether.
