Your distance is 1424 and your rate is 356. As you said, d = r*t. Since you don't have the time you would do 1424 divided by 356. This leaves you with a time of 4 hours. (Don't forget units!)
Answer:
x= 8 y= 1
Step-by-step explanation:
First, you identify your variables:
x= larger number
y= smaller number
Second, you find your equations:
x - y = 7
2x + 3y = 19
Third, (I used the substitution method) you make "y" by itself for the 1st equation.
y = x - 7
2x + 3y = 19
Then, you plug in the 1st equation for "y" in the 2nd equation
2x + 3(x - 7) = 19
Then, you distribute and simplify.
2x + 3x - 21 = 19
5x - 21 = 19
5x = 40
x = 8
Finally, you plug in the variable you found ( x ) into one of the equations and solve,
8 - y = 7
- y = -1
y = 1
You are taking off 8 each 2 at x, so it would be four for each 1 at x. therefore 2 is 9, 1 is 13 and...
the value of y is 17 when x = 0
sorry if i explained that bad
