Distance to the farm is 24 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Step 1: Let the speed of Peggy be x mph. Then the speed of Mike is x + 36 mph. Find the equation of distance for Mike and Peggy to the farm.

Time taken by Mike = 0.5 hr

Time taken by Peggy = 2 hrs

Distance is calculated by the equation Distance = Speed × Time

Distance traveled by Mike = (x + 36) × 0.5

Distance traveled by Peggy = x × 2

  • Step 2: Equate the 2 distances of Mike and Peggy as they are the same and find x.

(x + 36) × 0.5 = 2x

0.5x + 18 = 2x

1.5 x = 18

⇒ x = 18/1.5 = 12 mph

  • Step 3: Find the distance to the farm.

Distance to the farm = 2x = 24 miles

In a system of linear equations, the two equations have the same slope. Describe the possible solutions to the systems
belka [17]
If the two linear equations have the same slope (and the SAME y-intercept), the equations represent the same line. Since a line intersects with itself everywhere, there will be an infinite number of solutions (intersecting everywhere.)

Please help asap its due in one minute

The first thing you would do is substitute the 10 in for 'w' and 535 in for 'c'. 
535 = 235 + 30(10)
535 = 185 + 35(10)
Then, you would just solve the equations.
535 = 235 + 30(10)
30(10) = 300
300 + 235 = 535 
So the first equation is true, and we know for a fact that Larry's Landscaping charges $535 for a spring cleaning and weekly yard maintenance for 10 weeks.
On to the next equation.
535 = 185 + 35(10)
35(10) = 350
185 + 350 = 535
So, the second equation is true also. And we also know for a fact that Joe's Landscaping charges $535 for a spring cleaning and weekly yard maintenance for 10 weeks. 
So, now that we know that they will end up charging the same amount of money for a spring cleaning and weekly yard maintenance, the only answer that fits that is C. The cost for lawn maintenance is the same, $535, for both landscaping companies after 10 weeks.
Hope this helps!
