Answer:
x = $0.50
y= $0.75
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Multiply the equations to have the same coefficients
5(6x + 6y = 7.5) → 30x + 30y = 37.5
3(10x + 5y = 8.75) → 30x + 15y = 26.25
2. Subtract the equations
30x + 30y = 37.5
<u>- 30x + 15y = 26.25</u>
15y = 11.25
3. Solve for y by dividing both sides by 15
y = 0.75
4. Plug in 0.75 for y into one of the equations
6x + 6(0.75) = 7.5
5. Simplify
6x + 4.5 = 7.5
6. Solve for x
6x = 3
x = 0.5
If she hiked 6 miles in 2 hours then she must've hiked 3 miles in a hour.
3*9 = 27
Lucy would hike 27 miles in 9 hours. Hope this helps!
