Answer:

The Distance cover by both the Runners is same = 10 miles  

Step-by-step explanation:

According to question ,

The Speed of first runners (S 1) = 5 miles per hour

The speed of second runners (S 2)  = 4 miles per hour

Let The Time taken by First runner (T 1 ) = T hour

But the second runner  arrives half hour after the first runner ,

I.e The Time taken by Second runner (T 2) = ( T + \frac{1}{2} )

Now from Distance = Speed × Time

Since both the runners start from same place and run along the same trail

SO ,Both the Distance cover by both are same , D 1 = D 2

i.e Speed 1 × Time 1 = Speed 2 × Time 2

    5 mph × T            =  4 mph   ×  ( T + \frac{1}{2} )

    5 T =  4 T + ( 4 × \frac{1}{2} )

Or,  5 T - 4 T = 2

∴       T    =  2 hour  ,

Time take by first = T1 = T = 2 hour

Time take by second = T2 = T + \frac{1}{2} = (2  +  \frac{1}{2} )hour = \frac{5}{2}

Now the Distance cover = Speed × Time

              Distance   (D1)          = 5 mph  × 2 hour = 10 mile

And        Distance    (D2)         =  4 mph  × \frac{5}{2} = 10 miles

Hence, As The Distance cover by both the Runners is same = 10 miles  Answer

A system of equations is graphed on the coordinate plane.
ANTONII [103]
You have 2y=3x-1 and 4y=6x-2. first step is to get the y by itself . first equation you divide everything by 2 which gives you the equation: y= 3/2x-1/2
or y= 1.5x-.5, for the second equation you divide everything by 4, which gives you y=6/4x-2/4 (1/2) or y=1.5-.5. both equations are equal to one another: 
the answer is therefore C Infinitely many solutions.
