Speed traveling west = x - 10 km /hr


275 / ( x-10) - 300 / x = 1/2



275 *2x - 300 (x-10)*2 = ( x-10) *x



550x - 600x +6000 = x^2 -10x



x^2 +40x - 6000 = 0


( x -60) ( x+100) = 0


x = 60


ANSWER East = 60 km/ hr West = 50 km /hr


CHECK


300 /60 = 5 hours

275 /50 = 5.5 hours

2x-y=10 y=-4x+2 substitution method
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

the solution is (2, -6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute the second equation into the first, replacing y in the first:

2x - (-4x+2) = 10

Simplifying, we get:

2x + 4x - 2 = 10, or:

6x = 12, which yields x = 2.

Substituting 2 for x in the second equation yields y = -4(2) + 2 = 0, or y = -6

Then the solution is (2, -6).
