x + y = 53
x -y = 9 Adding both equations
2x = 62
x = 31 y = 22
in order to answer, we need to know what is the equation?
One of your friends gives you $10 for a charity walkathon -- this is your beginning amount.
Another friend gives you an amount per mile -- you will to calculate this value.
After 5 miles, you have raised $13.50 total --
-- Since one friend gave you $10.00, subtract this from the $13.50 to give you the amount by walking the 5 miles
-- $10.00 - $13.50 = $3.50
-- Since you walked 5 miles, divide $3.50 by 5 to give you $0.70 per mile earned.
So, an equation that represents the amount of money earned is: y = $0.70x+$10.00.
This is in slope-intercept form; the slope is $0.70 and represents the amount of money earned per mile and the intercept is $10.00 and represents the initial amount of money that you were given.
I can give you the equations for the graph. First one would be y = 0.90x + 25 (25 being the y intercept) and the other one would simply be y = 1.35. If you have a graphing calculator like me you can use it when modeling the graph. Hopefully this helps!
There are some area calculators on google if you need but I will try work it out..... if I don’t know I won’t send another answer
