M = hours driven by Maria

c = hours driven by Carlos

since we know that Carlos was driving at an average of 52 mph, then in 1 hour he drove 52 miles, in 2 hours he drove 2*52 miles in "c" hours he drove c*52 miles or 52c.

Maria on the other hand is faster and does 54 mph, in 1 hour she does 1 * 54 miles, and on 2 hours she does 2 * 54 miles and in "m" hours she does m * 54 miles or 54m.

now, we know the total amount of miles they both drove is 217, so whatever "m" and "c" are we know that 54m + 52c = 217.

we also know it took 4.1 for the whole trip, so m + c = 4.1.

\bf \begin{cases}
m+c=4.1\implies \boxed{c}=4.1-m\\
54m+52c=217\\
-------------\\
54m+52\left( \boxed{4.1-m} \right)=217
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
54m-52m+213.2=217\implies 2m=3.8
\\\\\\
m=\cfrac{3.8}{2}\implies m=1.9

so Maria drove for 1.9 hours.

How many hours did Carlos drive for?  well, c = 4.1 - m.

Express y=3x+2 in general form
katrin [286]

General form of a linear equation is ax+by+c=0 where a,b, and c are three real numbers.

So, we can shift all the terms in one side of the equation. Hence, first step is to remove y from the left side. So, subtract y from each sides.

y-y=3x+2-y

0= 3x - y +2 (By simplifying)

So, the general form of the given equation is 3x-y+2=0.
