9mph is the boat's actual speed.
12mph with the stream and 6mph against the stream.
12mph takes 2 hours to get there and 6mph takes 4 to get back = 6hours.

Solve the system of equations using substitution. Show your work<br> y=2x + 3<br> y=3x + 1
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

x=2 and y=7

Step-by-step explanation:

Step: Solvey=2x+3for y:

y=2x+3

Step: Substitute2x+3foryiny=3x+1:

y=3x+1

2x+3=3x+1

2x+3+−3x=3x+1+−3x(Add -3x to both sides)

−x+3=1

−x+3+−3=1+−3(Add -3 to both sides)

−x=−2

−x

−1

=

−2

−1

(Divide both sides by -1)

x=2

Step: Substitute2forxiny=2x+3:

y=2x+3

y=(2)(2)+3

y=7(Simplify both sides of the equation)

Estimate the solution to the system of equations. 7x−y=7<br><br> x+2y=6<br> ​
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

I am not sure how your teacher wanted you to estimate the answer but I solved it for you. Hopefully this helps.

Step-by-step explanation:

7x-y=7

x+2y=6

14x-2y=14

x+2y=6

add both equations

15x=20

x=20/15

x=4/3

x+2y=6

4/3+2y=6

2y=6-4/3

2y=18/3 -4/3

2y=14/3

divide both sides by 2

y= 14/3 divided by 2

y=14/3(1/2)

y=14/6

2y=
