Draw one ten, (If you have to draw ones, draw 3 of those) and the new fact is 10 + 3. (That equals 13, if you need that.)
X - 2y= 14
x - 3y= - 11 | * ( -1)
x - 2y = 14
-x + 3y= 11
----------------
/ y= 25
x - 2*25= 14
x - 50 =14
x= 14+50
x=64
Distance = 30 mph * time
distance = 4 mph * time
distance = 30 mph * t
distance = 4 mph * (17-t)
Since distance is equal then
30 mph * t = 4 mph * (17-t)
30t = -4t + 68
34t = 68
t = 2 hours
We see the return trip time is (17 -t ) which is 15 hours.
The beginning trip time is 2 hours.
Double Check
Beginning trip = 30 miles * 2 = 60 miles
Return trip = 4 miles * 15 = 60 miles.
