Answer:
The correct answer is Adam rowed faster in the men's 500-meter kayak race.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the speed he rowed in both races, you need to divide the distance of the race by the time it took him to finish. In the first race, he rowed 500 meters and did it in a time of 1 minute 37.9 seconds, so the speed in that race would be 
or approximately 5.10725 meters per second. In the second race, Adam rowed a distance of 1000 meters and did it in a time of 3 minutes 28.2 seconds, which means his speed in that race would be 
or approximately 4.80307 meters per second. Since his speed in the first race was faster than his speed in the second race, Adam rowed faster in the first race would be the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:
3s + 4j = 360
1s + 3j = 220
This one we can solve using substitution, in that
s + 3j = 220 implies s = 220 - 3j (subtract 3j from each side).
Now substitute into the first equation:
3(220 - 3j) + 4j = 360. Solve for jackets.
660 - 9j + 4j = 360 [Distributive property]
660 - 5j = 360 [Add -9j + 4j]
Subtract 360 from each side, and add 5j to each side.
660 - 360 - 5j + 5j = 360 - 360 + 5j
300 = 5j
Divide each side by 5.
$60 = price of a jacket.
Three of these plus a shirt runs $220.
3(60) = 180
180 + s = 220
180 - 180 + s = 220 - 180 [Subtract 180 from each side]
s = 40
Now we double check.
3(40) + 4 (60) = 120 + 240 = 360. This satisfies the first equation.
We could check the second one too, but I'm satisfied.
kyle is 18 and megan is 9, because 9 + 18 = 27 and 27 / 3 = 9. hope this helps :)
