Well, how long will it take you to drive 135 miles at 55mph?
at 55 mph, you're doing 55 miles every hour, so we can simply get the quotient of 135/55 and that's how many hours it'll take you to drive 135 miles at that speed.
so, it takes you that long, however, from 3:15 to 5:00pm there are only 45mins + 60mins or 1hr and 45 minutes, namely 1¾ hr.
so 2hrs and 27 minutes is much later than 1¾ hr, so, no dice, you can't arrive at 5pm, actually you'll arrive around 5:42pm.
This is a system of linear equations. First, you can add the two equations together to eliminate the y so that you can solve for x:
-5x + -7x = 0 + -96
-12x = -96
x = 8
Use x to solve for y:
-5 * 8 + 8y = 0
Add 40 to both sides and divide by 8:
y = 5
So, x = 8 and y = 5.
Answer:
D. Neither
Step-by-step explanation:
SINCE the slope is -2 it would be like this -2/1 but first plot the y-intercept onto the graph and go down 2 and over 1.
