Answer:

x = 2.4; y = 3.2

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 3x - 4

2x + y = 8

2x + 3x - 4 = 8

5x - 4 = 8

5x = 12

x = 12 / 5

x = 2.4

y = 3(2.4) - 4

y = 7.2 - 4

y = 3.2

Answer:

Option D is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the one way distance and t be the time out.

Time taken for back = t-1

We have plane's average speed out was 300 mph and average speed on the way back was 350 mph.

That is

$\frac{x}{300}=t\texttt{ and }\frac{x}{350}=t-1$

Dividing both equations

$\frac{\frac{x}{300}}{\frac{x}{350}}=\frac{t}{t-1}\\\\350t-350=300t\\\\t=7\texttt{ hours}$

Time taken for back = t-1 = 7-1 = 6 hours.

Total time taken = 7 + 6 = 13 hours

Option D is the correct answer.
