Answer:

x = -5 & y = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

2x - 5y = 5          --------------------------(I)

y = x + 2               -----------------------(II)

Using substitution method

Substitute y = x + 2 in equation (I)

            2x - 5(x + 2) = 5            

      2x - 5*x + (-5)*2 = 5

            2x - 5x - 10  = 5        

Combine like terms

                -3x - 10 = 5               {Add 10 to both sides}

                        -3x = 5 +10

                        -3x = 15                 {Divide both sides by (-3)}

                           x = 15/(-3)

x = -5

Substitute the x = (-5)  in equation (II)

y = -5 + 2

y = -3

Tiffany is 140 miles away from Maggie. They are traveling towards each other. If Maggie travels 5 mph faster than Tiffany and th
8090 [49]

Answer: Tiffany 15mph, Maggie 20mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up the equation 4((x+5) + x) = 140. x+5 represents how many miles Maggie covered in one hour. x represents how much Tiffany traveled in one hour. 140 is the number of miles in total. 4 is the number of hours in total.

Simplify the equation.

(x+5) + x = 35    Divide both sides by 4

2x+5 = 35         Combine like terms

2x = 30              Subtract 5 from both sides

x = 15                 Divide both sides by 2

Tiffany traveled 15mph, while Maggie traveled 15+5=20mph.
