What u do is put the top x equation into the bottom equation. So it would be 5•3y-1-7y=19. Next it would be 15y-7y-1=19. After that it would be 8y-1=19 After you would add 1 to both sides 8y=20 Y=2.5
I will solve your system by substitution.<span><span>x=<span><span>3y</span>−1</span></span>;<span><span><span>5x</span>−<span>7y</span></span>=19</span></span>Step: Solve<span>x=<span><span>3y</span>−1</span></span>for x:Step: Substitute<span><span>3y</span>−1</span>forxin<span><span><span><span>5x</span>−<span>7y</span></span>=19</span>:</span><span><span><span>5x</span>−<span>7y</span></span>=19</span><span><span><span>5<span>(<span><span>3y</span>−1</span>)</span></span>−<span>7y</span></span>=19</span><span><span><span>8y</span>−5</span>=19</span>(Simplify both sides of the equation)<span><span><span><span>8y</span>−5</span>+5</span>=<span>19+5</span></span><span>(Add 5 to both sides)

The slope would be -65 and this would indicate the the car is going 65 miles per hour, as it is being subtracted from the distance. Your answer would be C
