Answer:

Distance = 17.5 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Note.

Given question is not complete

Given:

Speed upstream = x

Time taken in upstream = 3.5 hour

Speed in return trip = (x+2)

Time taken in return trip = 2.5 hour

Computation:

Distance = speed × time

Distance = x (3.5)

Distance = 2.5 (x+2)

Distance = 2.5x + 5

So,

2.5x + 5 = 3.5 x

1.5 x = 5

x = 5 miles/hour

Distance = x (3.5)

Distance = 5 (3.5)

Distance = 17.5 miles

Answer:

(7,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 9 + 2x - 3y = 8 is really two equations, and you should show this by separating x + y = 9 from 2x - 3y = 8 through the use of a comma, or the word "and," or through writing only one equation per line.

Here you have the system of linear equations

 x +   y =  9

2x - 3y = 8.

Let's solve this system by elimination.  Mult. the 1st eqn by 3, obtaining the system

3x + 3y = 27

2x - 3y =    8

-------------------

5x = 35, so that x = 7.  Subbing 7 for x in x + y = 9, we get 7 + y = 9, indicating that y = 2.

Thus, the solution to this system of equations is (7,2).
