Let, x+y = 3
2(x-y) = 14

Substitute value from eq (1) in eq (2),
2(3-y-y) = 14
2(3-2y) = 14
6-4y = 14
-4y = 8
y = -2

Put it into eq (1),
x-2 = 3
x = 5

So, x = 5 & y = -2

Hope this helps!

Answer:

Ok:

Step-by-step explanation:

I see that you set up 90 miles = 60 mph * t, where you found out that t = 1.5. What what you needed to do was set 180 miles = 45 mph * t. This is because it is 45 mph for the <em>whole</em> trip. Then, you find that t = 4 hours. That that means that he spent 2.5 hours driving back. Then, we can do d=vt and find 90/2.5 as the speed he went home at. Which comes out to be 36 mph.
