Answer:
it is D. the murmurs of a group
Step-by-step explanation:
Since you have the answers given, just track their walking.
After one hour, one guy has covered 3mi and the other 4mi, which is in total 7, not 14
After 2 hours, one guy has covered 6mi and the other 8mi, which is 14mi
The algebraic way would be:
3x +4x = 14 *x being the hour
7x = 14
x =2
Let 11x + 15y + 23 = 0 be equation (1)
And 7x - 2y - 20 = 0 be equation (2)
Multiply equation (1) by 2:
22x + 30y + 46 = 0
Multiply equation (2) by 15:
105x - 30y - 300 = 0
Add equations (1) and (2):
22x + 105x + 30y - 30y + 46 - 300 = 0
127x - 254 = 0
127x = 254
x = 254/127
[x = 2]
Substitute x = 2 in equation (1) to find y:
11(2) + 15y + 23 = 0
22 + 15y + 23 = 0
15y + 45 = 0
15y = -45
y = -45/15
y = -3
Therefore, x = 2 and y = -3.
You have to get a common denominator so
3 x 3 = 9
5 x 3 = 15
So now we have 9/15 + 4/15 which is 13/15.
The answer is 13/15
