Answer:

13

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

x + 2y = 8 → (1)

- 2x + 3y = 5 → (2)

Rearrange (1) expressing x in terms of y by subtracting 2y from both sides

x = 8 - 2y → (3)

Substitute x = 8 - 2y into (2)

- 2(8 - 2y) + 3y = 5 ← distribute and simplify left side

- 16 + 4y + 3y = 5

- 16 + 7y = 5 ( add 16 to both sides )

7y = 21 ( divide both sides by 7 )

y = 3

Substitute y = 3 in (3) for corresponding value of x

x = 8 - 2(3) = 8 - 6 = 2

Thus x = 2 and y = 3

2x + 3y = 2(2) + 3(3) = 4 + 9 = 13

Kelly uses cruise control to drive at a constant speed. She travels first 192 miles in 3 hours. At the rate, how long will it ta
ioda

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

rate = d / t

rate = 192 / 3

rate = 64 miles / hour

Now you want to know how long it can take to get 448 miles

d = r * t

t = d / r

t = 448/64

t = 7 hours.

You could actually do it using proportions.

192/3 = 448/x                   Cross multiply

192*x = 448*3

192*x = 1344                    Divide by 192

x = 1344/192

x = 7

Do this the way you feel is the best way.
