So you are given that the trail is 1/4 a mile
she jogged 8 *TIMES*
so 8 * 1/4 = the total miles she jogged
That equals to 2 miles...
Hope this helps :)
First, you got to answer the question. The answer is 11/24, since 11 is a prime number that's your answer.
Linear combination method just means to add the equations so that one variable with cancel. In this case the a values are already set up so that they will cancel.
2a + 3b = 1
-2a + b = 11
4b = 12
b = 3
now put 3 back into either of the original equations and solve for a.
2a + 3(3) = 1
2a + 9 = 1
2a = -8
a = -4
(-4,3)
