Answer:
8x = 32
x = 4
y = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
2.5y + 3x = 27
5x – 2.5y = 5
_____________
8x = 32 (equation obtained after adding the two equations)
x = 32/8
x = 4
Plug x = 4 in 2.5y + 3x = 27
2.5y + 3*4 = 27
2.5y + 12 = 27
2.5y = 27 - 12
2.y5= 15
y = 15/2.5
y = 6

Step-by-step explanation:
.............
Answer:
4 mi/h
Step-by-step explanation:
The distance between the cyclists is the hypotenuse of an isosceles right triangle. The hypotenuse is √2 times the length of the legs in such a triangle, so each cyclist must have ridden 8 miles in 2 hours.
Their speed is (8 mi)/(2 h) = 4 mi/h.

<em>Additional comment</em>
Consider an isosceles right triangle with leg lengths 1. Then the Pythagorean theorem tells us the length of the hypotenuse is ...
c² = a² +b² . . . square of hypotenuse is sum of squares of legs
c² = 1² +1² . . . . both legs are 1 in our example triangle
c² = 2
c = √2
That is, the hypotenuse is √2 times the leg length.
Answer:
40 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
4x10 is 40 miles
First you need to multiply each side by 2
X - C. X - C = d * 2
-------- = d --->
2
Then add X from each side
C = d * 2 + X
