Answer:
(-12,11)
Step-by-step explanation:
x + 2y = 10
3x + 4y = 8
(-2)x + (-2)2y = (-2)10
3x + 4y = 8
-2x - 4y = -20
3x + 4y = 8
Add to eliminate:
x = -12
Substitute x to solve y:
x + 2y = 10
(-12) + 2y = 10
-12 + 2y = 10
2y = 10 + 12
2y = 22
y = 22 ÷ 2
y = 11
Check:
x + 2y = 10
(-12) + 2(11) = 10
-12 + 22 = 10
10 = 10
Answer:
37.59 nautical miles
Explanation:
Distance = Speed x Time
The speed of the first ship = 12 knots
Thus, the distance covered after 1.5 hours

The speed of the second ship = 22 knots
Thus, the distance covered after 1.5 hours

The diagram representing the ship's path is drawn and attached below:
The angle at port = 90 degrees.
The triangle is a right triangle.
Using Pythagorean Theorem:

The two ships are 37.59 nautical miles apart after 1.5 hours.
Nadia Is correct I believe, Because if a pizza is cut into 8 slices each slice is going to be smaller. but if it were to be cut into fourths it would be bigger. They are indeed equivalent but still never the same in size.
