Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let  x  m/h be the speed of first bus.

Then speed of second bus=x-13 m/h

fist covers covers distance=3x

second covers the distance=3(x-13)=3x-39

again 3x+(3x-39)=339

6x=339+39=378

x=378/6=63

so speed of first bus=63 m/h

speed  of second bus=63-13=50 m/h

Solve the system of equations. -10y+9x=-9 <br> 10y+5x=-5
alexira [117]

by the use of elimination method

make all coefficients of subject to be eliminated similar..by multiplying the coefficients with one another

for eqn(i)

5(-10y+9x=-9)

-50y+45x=-45

for eqn(ii)

9(10y+5x=-5)

90y+45x=-45

-50y+45x=-45

90y+45x=-45

...subtract each set from the other...

we get

-140y+0=0

y=0

from eqn(i)

10y+5x=-5

0+5x=-5

x= -1
