Sides that two side is equal so
5x+10=40
5x=30
X=6
8x-9y=19
4x+y=-7
Multiply all terms of the 2nd by (9)===> 36x + 9y= 63
add (36x 9y= 63) to the 1st ===> 44x+0y = -44 ===> x=-1
replace x by this value in any of the equation & you'll get y=-3
Using the pairs (1,32) and (2,64) the rate of speed is (64-32 / 2-1 = 32 feet per second.
To find the rate of decent you would multiply the rate by time:
The equation is y = 32x
B. Replace x with 15 and solve for y:
Y = 32(15)
Y = 480
The rate of speed is 480 feet per second.
