Their average speed was 52 miles per hour
4x - 12 = 16) 4x -12 + 12 = 16 + 12) 4x = 28) 4x/4 =28/4) x = 7
Answer:
7
Step-by-step explanation:
Amy(A): D + 12
Doug(D):D
Ginger(G):2D
SumOfAll(S)=208 : Total points / sum of all three friends
(D+12)+D+2D=208
D+12+3D=208 - transpose 12 to the right side
4D=208-12
4D = 196 - divide both sides by 4
D=49
Therefore, Doug scored 49
Answer:
(1/2,4)
Step-by-step explanation:
First, determine y in first equation: 2x+y=5 or y=5-2x
replace value of y determined in first equation (5-2x) into 2nd equation
4x-3(5-2x)=-10
4x-15+6x=10
10x=5
x=1/2
put value of x into either equation to solve for y so
2(1/2)+y=5
1+y=5
y=4
answer: x=1/2, y=4
check answer by substituting x and y into either equation:
4x-3y=-10
4(1/2)-3(4)=-10
2-12=-10
-10=-10
or
2x+y=5
2(1/2)+4=5
1+4=5
5=5
