Answer:it will take 1 hour before they meet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between Fred's house and Jon's house is 6 miles. This means that by the time they meet, both of them would have covered a total distance of 6 miles.

Let t represent the time spent by Fred in covering his own distance and also the time spent by Jon in covering his own distance since they left their houses at the same time.

Distance = speed × time

Distance covered by Fred would be

4 × t = 4t

Distance covered by Jon would be

2 × t = 2t

Since total distance = 6 miles, then

4t + 2t = 6

6t = 6

t = 6/6 = 1

Two leprechauns are arguing over a pot of gold. The first leprechaun says to the other, ‘Give me seven of your gold pieces and I
Anvisha [2.4K]
Gold pieces the first leprechaun has: x
Gold pieces the second leprechaun has: y
<span>
The first leprechaun says to the other, ‘Give me seven of your gold pieces and I will have twice as many as you!’:
The first leprechaun would have x+7
The second leprechaun would have y-7
</span>I will have twice as many as you:
(1) x+7=2(y-7)
<span>(1) x+7=2y-14
(1) x+7-7-2y=2y-14-7-2y
(1) x-2y=-21

</span>The other one replies, ‘No way! Give me seven of yours and we’ll have the same number’
The first leprechaun would have x-7
The second leprechaun would have y+7
We’ll have the same number:
(2) x-7=y+7
(2) x-7+7-y=y+7+7-y
(2) x-y=14

<span>How many gold pieces does the first leprechaun have?
x=?
We have a system with 2 equations and two unknows (x and y). We need to solve for x:
(1) x-2y=-21
(2) x-y=14

Using the method of substitution, we can isolating y in the second equation:
(2) x-y=14
(2) x-y+y-14=14+y-14
(2) x-14=y
(2) y=x-14  

And we can replace y in the first equation by x-14, and solve for x: 
(1) x-2y=-21
(1) x-2(x-14)=-21
(1) x-2x+28=-21
(1) -x+28=-21
(1) -x+28-28=-21-28
(1) -x=-49
(1) (-1)*(-x=-49)
(1) x=49

Answer: T</span>he first leprechaun has 49 gold pieces
