<span>0.48333333333 or if u round it off it would be 0.48</span>
For this, I'll be using the substitution method. Since y = 1/3x - 6, replace the y variable in the first equation with 1/3x - 6 and solve for x:

Now that we have the value of x, plug it into either equation to solve for y:

<h3><u>In short, the solution to this equation is (3,-5).</u></h3>
I'd say (a) = 52.5 minutes or 52 minutes and 30 second
(b) = 45 minutes
