The answer choice which represents a solution to the system of equations is; (–2, 10).
<h3>Which answer choice is a solution to the systems of equations?</h3>
The system of equations as given in the task content is;
-6x - (2/5)y = 8
(1/2)x +3y = 29
Hence, by making x subject in equation 1 and substitution; we have;
x = (-0.4y -8)/6
Hence; (0.4y -8)/12 + 3y = 29.
(0.4y -8) + 36y = 348
35.6y = 356
y = 10
and x = (-0.4(10) -8)/6 = -2.

Answer:
the picture is not clear of that number in diagram
The key is Esther travelled the same distance - x - in both her morning and evening commute.
45(time she took in the morning, or p) = x
30(time she took in the evening, or q) = x
Therefore 45(p) = 30(q), or divide both sides by 5 and get 9(p) = 6(q). I know you can divide it further, but these numbers are small enough and it's not worth the time.
Since the whole trip took an hour, (p + q) = 60min, and so, p = 60-q.
Therefore 9(60-q) = 6q or 540-9q = 6q. So 540 = 15q, which makes q = 36. If q = 36, then by (p+q)=60, p (the time she took in the morning) must equal 24.
45 miles per hour, her speed in the morning, times (24/60) hours, her time, makes 18 miles travelled in the morning. If you check, 30 miles per hour times (36/60) hours also makes 18 miles in the evening.
