Step-by-step explanation:
You can solve systems of equations using either substitution or elimination. For these problems, I recommend elimination. I'll do the first one as an example.
-3x + 16y = 9
-4x + 8y = 12
Multiply the second equation by -2.
8x − 16y = -24
Add to the first equation (notice the y's cancel out).
(-3x + 16y) + (8x − 16y) = 9 − 24
5x = -15
Solve for x.
x = -3
Now you can plug this into either equation to find y.
-3(-3) + 16y = 9
9 + 16y = 9
y = 0
The solution is (-3, 0).

Answer:
It will take the police car 3.5 hours to travel a distance of 175 miles traveling at a rate of 50 miles/hour.
Step-by-step explanation:
If a car is traveling at a constant speed of 50 miles/hour and we wish to know how long it will take it to travel a distance of 175 miles, we will use this formula
d = r*t
Where d is the distance traveled in miles
r is the rate of speed in miles/ hour, and
t is the time in hours
d in this case is 175 miles and r is 50 miles/hour, plugging this in, we have
175 miles = (50 miles/hour) * t Divide both sides by 50 miles/hour
Our miles unit will cancel out, leaving us with
3.5 hours = t
