What is the meaning of this question
Answer:
x = -3
y = -8
Step-by-step explanation:
2y = x - 13
3x = y - 1; let y = 3x + 1
substitute to solve for 'x':
2(3x + 1) = x - 13
6x + 2 = x - 13
5x + 2 = -13
5x = -15
x = -3
solve for 'y':
3(-3) = y - 1
-9 = y - 1
-8 = y
Answer:
first do:
60mph * 4 hours= 240mi
Let D = the distance the passenger train has to
travel to catch the freight train
Start a stopwatch when the passenger train leaves
Let t = the time on the stopwatch when they meet
Equation for freight train:
d-240=60t
Equation for passenger train:
d=100t
all together:
100t-240=60t
we can do 100t-60t because they both have (t)= 40t
40t=240 *now divide 240 by 40= 6
THEN do:
D= 100mph x 6= 600mi
They will meet 600 mi from the station
to check:
d-240=60t x 6
600-240= 360
60 x 6= 360
360=360
