The length of hours Gilbert drove is 7.5 hours.

The length of hours Brian drove is 4.1 hours.

<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:

  • Gilbert averaged = 45 miles per hour
  • Brain averaged = 65 miles per hour
  • Total hours = 11.6 hours
  • Total distance = 604 miles

Let 'x' be the hours Gilbert drove.

Let 'y' be the hours Brian drove.

x+y = 11.6  -----(1)

45x+65y = 604 -----(2)

Multiply (1) by 45 and subtract (2) from (1)

 45x+45y = 522

-(<u>45x+65y = 604</u>)

 <u>      -20y = -82 </u>

y = 82/20

y = 4.1 hours

The length of hours Brian drove = 4.1 hours

Substitute y=4.1 in (1)

x+4.1 = 11.6

x = 7.5 hours

The length of hours Gilbert drove = 7.5 hours

. Here is an equation 2x + 9 = -15. Write three different equations that have the same solution as 2x + 9 = -15. Show or explain
Anettt [7]

Answer:

1. x-3=-15
2.2x=-24
3.2x-3=-27

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following question:

2x+9=-15

To find three equations that have the same solution as the given equation we have to first solve the equation.

2x+9=-15
9-9=0
-15-9=-24
2x=-24
2x\div2=x
-24\div2=-12
x=-12

<u>Equation one:</u>
x-3=-15
-3+3=0
-15+3=-12
x=-12

<u>Equation two:
</u>2x=-24
2x\div2=x
-24\div2=-12
x=-12

<u>Equation three:</u>
2x-3=-27
-3+3=0
-27+3=-24
-24\div2=-12
x=-12

Hope this helps.
