There are 3 methods to solve this. elimination substitution and graphing but i am going to use the elimination method.
  x+2y=17
 <u> x-y   =2
</u> 0+3y  =15   ( subtracted down to eliminate the x)( x-x=0, 2y-(-y)=3y, and 17-2=15)
     3y=15    (divide both sides by 3 to solve for y)
      y=5
<u>substitute the y=5 in any of the above equations and solve for x
ie... ( </u>meaning where you find y in the equation, u replace it with a 5)

it will be easier to solve for x in (x-y=2) so i will use that one.
x-(5)=2  ( add 5 on both sides to solve for x)
x=7

Pre-calc<br> Evaluate f(2) using substitution:<br> f(x) = 2x^3 – 3x^2– 18x-8
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

f(2) = -40

Step-by-step explanation:

Just substitute x=2 into the function:

f(x) = 2x³ - 3x² - 18x - 8

f(2) = 2(2)³ - 3(2)² - 18(2) - 8

f(2) = 2(8) - 3(4) - 36 - 8

f(2) = 16 - 12 - 44

f(2) = 4 - 44

f(2) = -40

The burges are moving across the country .Mr burges leaves 3 hours before mrs.burges. If he averages 50 mph and she averages 70
kirill [66]

10.5 hours

let t be time then distance travelled by both is

Mr Burges ⇔ d = 50t ( distance = speed × time )

Mrs Burges ⇒ d = 70(t - 3)

At the point of overtaking both will have travelled the same distance

equating their distance and solving for t

70(t - 3) = 50t

70t - 210 = 50t ( subtract 50t from both sides )

20t - 210 = 0 ( add 210 to both sides )

20t = 210 ( divide both sides by 20 )

t = 10.5 hours
