3c = 12.69
where c = # of greeting cars
1,35 3,57
slope = (57 - 35)/(3 - 1) = 11
y = 11 x + b
35 = 11 (1) + b
b= 24
y = 11x + 24
y = 11(5) + 24 = 79

Given system of linear equations are ,
And we need to find the Solution of the linear equation . So let's Firstly number the equations .
<u>→</u><u> </u><u>Multipl</u><u>ying</u><u> </u><u>equⁿ</u><u> </u><u>(</u><u>i</u><u>)</u><u> </u><u>by</u><u> </u><u>3</u><u> </u><u>,</u>
=> 3 ( x + y ) = 2*3
=> 3x + 3y = 6
<u>→</u><u> </u><u>Addin</u><u>g</u><u> </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>two</u><u> </u><u>equations </u><u>,</u><u> </u>
=> 3x + 3y -3y + y = 6 + 2
=> 4y = 8
=> y = 8/4
=> y = 2
<u>→</u><u> </u><u>Put</u><u> </u><u>y</u><u> </u><u>=</u><u> </u><u>2</u><u> </u><u>in</u><u> </u><u>(</u><u>i</u><u>)</u><u> </u><u>,</u>
=> x + y = 2
=> x + 2 = 2
=> x = 2- 2
=> x = 0

the required solution is ( 0 , 2 ) .</u></h3>
Distance between points

and

is

Distance from H to B:
![[tex]d=\sqrt{(10-(-3))^2+(1-(-9))^2}=\sqrt{169+100}=\sqrt{269}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Btex%5Dd%3D%5Csqrt%7B%2810-%28-3%29%29%5E2%2B%281-%28-9%29%29%5E2%7D%3D%5Csqrt%7B169%2B100%7D%3D%5Csqrt%7B269%7D)
d=\sqrt{(1-(-3))^2+(10-(-9))^2}=\sqrt{16+361}=\sqrt{376}[/tex] units.
Distance from Z to B:

units.
Horse Z is closer to the barn.
(The conversion to meters is not required; the question does not ask for actual distances, so "units" is OK.)
