<span>Chris' average speed is 3.5mph:
Lets take Chris' brother speed = B
then Chris speed = (B+ 1) mph-------given in the question
and:
The average speed for covering 18 miles= chris' average speed + his brother's
average speed = (B+ 1) + B
since Speed = Distance covered / time taken
then average speed for 18 miles can also be found by: 18 miles/3 hours = 6 miles per hour
then we have; (B+ 1) + B = 6mph
(B +1) = (6-B)
B+B = 6-1=5
2B=5
B=5/2=2.5 mph (this is Chris' brother average speed)
Hence Chris' average speed is = B+1= 2.5+1= 3.5mph</span>
Answer: 500 chicken feed and 200 careful calculators
Step-by-step explanation:
2x+3y=1,600
40x+50y=30,000
those are your first two equations
your first matrix equation for A is 2, 3,40,50 and B is 1,600 and 30,000 when you enter those in your calculator and 500 and 200 should be your result.
