Hi there!
To see if this has a solution, we can simplify it.
6x + 12 > x - 3
5x + 12 > -3
5x > -15
x > -3
Yes, there are solutions to this problem. Any number greater than -3 would match the inequality requirements.
Hope this helps!
Just put these values in the place of x and solve!
The answer is 2 btw
Let the distance to his office be x, then
On monday, speed = x/20 miles per minutes = 3x miles per hour
On tuesday, speed = (3x + 15) miles per hour
Time = distance / speed
(20 - 6)/60 hours = x/(3x + 15) hours
7/30 = x/(3x + 15)
7(3x + 15) = 30x
21x + 105 = 30x
30x - 21x = 105
9x = 105
x = 105/9 = 11.7 miles
Therfore he travels an average of 11.7 miles to work.
Answer:
x = -1 and y = 18
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the system of equations
y + 8x = 10... 1
2y - 4x = 40 ... 2
From 1; y = 10-8x
Substitute into 2;
2(10-8x) - 4x = 40
20 - 16x - 4x = 40
20 - 20x = 40
-20x = 40 - 20
-20x = 20
x = -1
Recall that y = 10-8x
y = 10 - 8(-1)
y = 10 + 8
y = 18
therefore your answer is x = -1 and y = 18
