If you use the first answer, the equation becomes 2x + 2y = 16.  You could subtract this from equation Q to eliminate x.

The second answer makes equation P -2x - 2y = -16.  You could add this to equation Q to eliminate x.  You can use both of these methods to eliminate the x term, but if you can only choose one, you should choose the second option.

First you divide 1200 by 25 (1200/25) it comes out to 48. 
That means the he types at a rate of 48wpm. So then all you have to do is multiply 48 and 45 and you get 2160 words.

What is the unit rate of 15 laps in 3 days
Ivanshal [37]
The answer is going to be 5 laps per day because I did 15 laps/3days and divided each side by 3 which the answer is going to be 5/1 but it’s basically 5 since it’s going to be a whole number in this set. Therefore the unit rate of 15 laps in 3 days is going to be 5 laps per day.
