Hi Daniellepowers!

To solve this system of equations, add the two equations.
2x+3y=40
+
-2x+2y=20
=
5y=60
y=12

Plug y back into any equation,
2x+3(12)=40
2x+36=40
2x=4
x=2

Solution: (2, 4)

B. x= 2 y=12

Hope this helps :)

A trimaran boat, with a top speed of 55 knots, won the tournament cup in 2010. Its top speed is 6 knots more than 3.5 times the

slavikrds [6]

Answer:

14 knots

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the speed (55 knots) is 6 more than 3.5 times the winner of the monohull in the 2007 tournament.

So let's set the variable for the speed of the monohull to m. Now, let's set up an equation:

$55 = 6 + (3.5 * m)$

We can solve this by first subtracting 6 from both sides to get:

$49 = 3.5 * m$

Dividing both sides by 3.5 we get:

$14 = m$

That means that the top speed of the monohull in the 2007 tournament was 14 knots
