Answer:

13 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

It may be easier to use a diagram but I am going to try my best to explain without one.

Picture their journey north as one side of a right angle triangle (a). Now picture their journey west as another side (b).

The shortest journey back is the hypotenuse of the triangle (c).

Using pythagoras you can work out the answer

a^{2} + b^{2}  = c^{2}

5^{2} + 12^{2}  = c^{2}\\25 + 144 = c^{2} \\\\169 = c^{2}\\\sqrt{169}  = c^{2}  \\13 = c^{2}

How do I solve this .... question in the image. <br><br>thank you​
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

Below

Step-by-step explanation:

● x-20 = y+20 (1)

● 2(y-22) = x+22 (2)

This is a system of simulataneous equations

Let's simplify the expressions first

● x -20 = y + 20 (1)

Add 20 to both sides

● x -20 + 20 = y+20 +20

● x = y + 40 (1)

● 2(y-22) = x+22 (2)

● 2y - 44 = x +22

Substrat 22 from both sides

● 2y-44-22 = x+22-22

● 2y -66 = x (2)

This is the new system:

● x = y+40 (1)

● x = 2y-66 (2)

Substract (2) from (1)

● x-x = y+40-(2y-66)

● y+40-2y+66 = 0

● -y +106 = 0

● y = 106

Replace y with 106 in (1)

● x = y +40

● x = 106+40

● x = 146

So the solutions are (146,106)
