<span>d=drinks
p=pretzels
1st eq. 3d+3p=9.00
2nd eq. 4d+2p=8.50</span>

multiply 1st eq by 2

6d+6p=18.00

<span>multiply 2nd eq by 3
12d+6p=25.50
subtract
-6d=-7.50
d=1.25
3p=9.00-3d</span>

3p=9-3.75

<span>3p=5.25
p=1.75
price a pretzel=$1.75</span>

Suppose you are driving to visit a friend in another state. you are driving 55 miles per hour. you must drive 440 miles total. i
Oliga [24]
Time=(distance)/(speed)
speed=55 mi/hr
Total distance=440 miles
Distance covered=275 miles
remaining distance=440-275=165 miles
Time taken to cover the remaining distance will be:
time=165/55=3 hours

Total time taken to travel=440/55=8 hours
if we are to use the equation given by:
55h+275=440
time taken will be found by solving for h, thus we shall have:
55h=440-275
55h=165
h=165/55
h=3 hours

Answer: 3 hours
