first subtract the last equation from the first. this gives:-
-x + y = -8 .....................(1)
Then multiply the first equation by 2 and add it to the 2nd equations This gives
9x = 18
so x = 2
and from equation (1) y = -8 + 2 = -6
Substituting for x and y in the second equation
z = (24 -5(2) -12) / 2 = 1
Answer is choice b.

Answer: </h3><h3>
speed of train A = 44 mph</h3>
=============================================
Work Shown:
x = speed of train A
y = speed of train B
"train A travels 4/5 the speed of train B" (I'm assuming "train one" is supposed to read "train B"). So this means x = (4/5)y
distance = rate*time
d = x*7
d = (4/5)y*7 = (28/5)y represents the distance train A travels
d = y*7 = 7y represents the distance train B travels
summing those distances will give us 693
(28/5)y + 7y = 693
5*( (28/5)y + 7y ) = 5*693
28y + 35y = 3465
63y = 3465
y = 3465/63
y = 55
Train B's speed is 55 mph
4/5 of that is (4/5)y = (4/5)*55 = 4*11 = 44 mph
Train A's speed is 44 mph
B: 80
All the sides add up to 20 so adding all four sides make 80
