The image for this is attached for reference. This problem can be used by the Pythagorean equation. To make solving convenient, let us see only one part of the tent. Hence, one side is half of the tend width which is 16/2ft. Height is 12 ft. The unknown side is the hypotenuse. The answer is:
For Q3, you can subsitute x = 2 and y = 5 into the systems
-5(2) + 5 = -5
so it's a solution for the first system
-4(2)+2(5) = 2
it's also a solution for the second system
Each person should ride the bike for 4 miles, so that every one has to walk 8 miles and ride 4 miles.
If they had 2 bikes, each person will ride for 8 miles, 4 miles on each bike, and then walk 4 miles.
