Answer: 72 miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know the relationship:
Distance = speed*time.
Then we can write the equation for distance as a function of time for Ali as:
A(t) = 12mph*t
where t is time in hours.
Fatimah's equation will be:
F(t) = 18mph*(t - 2h)
where the -2h appears because she starts two hours after Ali.
Fatimah will overtake Ali when F(t) = A(t) (their positions are the same)
Then we need to solve:
12mph*t = 18mph*(t - 2h)
12mph*t = 18mph*t - 18mph*2h
12mph*t = 18mph*t - 36 mi
36 mi = (18mph - 12mph)*t
36mi = 6mph*t
36mi/6mph = t
6h = t
So Ali travels for 6 hours before he gets overtaken, then the total distance that Ali travels is:
A(6h) = 12mph*6h = 72 mi
Please show the question you’re confused about. We can’t help if we don’t know the problem :)
If we add the equations it looks like
-5y + 8x + 5y + 2x = -18+58
so 10x=40
so x=40/10=4
now let's replace x by 4 in the second equation
5y +2*4=58
5y=58-2*4=58-8=50
so y=50/5=10
so (x, y) = (2, 10)
