X= number of hours in run
y = number of hours in bike race
9x+29y=85
x+y=5, and y=5-x
Substituting 5-x for y in the first equation, we have 9x+ 29(5-x)=85 and 9x+145-29x=85, then subtracting 145 from both sides to get -20x=-60 and x=3, which is the amount of hours in the running race. Multiply that by 9 miles per hour to get 27 miles

Answer:
5 units.
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find the distance between the line y = -2x + 1 and the point (-4, 4), we need to find the position of the line at x = -4. Shortest distance between two objects is a straight line, right?
So y = -2(-4) + 1 = 9; (-4, 9).
Finding the distance between (-4, 4) and (-4, 9) gives us the answer of 5.
