For this case we have a system of two linear equations with two igcognitas, given by:

5v + 4w = 1\\3v-6w = 2

Where v and w are the unknowable variables.

To solve, we perform the following steps:

1st step:

We multiply the first equation by 3:

15v + 12w = 3

2nd step:

We multiply the second equation by -5:

-15v + 30w = -10

3rd step:

We add the equations:

15v + 12w = 3\\-15v + 30w = -10

We have then:

42w = -7

w =-\frac{7}{42}

w =-\frac{1}{6}

Thus, the value of w is -\frac{1}{6}.

4th step:

We substitute w =-\frac{1}{6} in any of the equations:

3v-6w = 2\\3v-6 * (-\frac{1}{6}) = 2

3v + 1 = 2\\3v = 2-1\\3v = 1

v =\frac{1}{3}

So, the value of v is \frac{1}{3}

Answer:

The value of w is -\frac{1}{6}

The distance between two positions with longitudes A and B is given by ||A| - |B|| if the two positions are at the same side of the meridian (0 degrees longitude) and |A| + |B| if both positions are at different sides of the meridian.

Given that <span>Moscow is at 37.62 degrees longitude and Brasilia is at -47.87 degrees longitude, thus the two cities are at different sides of the meridian.

Therefore, the distance </span><span>(in degrees) between the longitude lines of Moscow and Brasilia</span> is |37.62| + |-47.87| = 37.62 + 47.87 = 85.49
