Step-by-step explanation:

2x - 3y= - 6........(1)

8x + 4y = - 56......(2) multiply equation (1) all through by 4

8x - 12y = - 24.....(3)

Subtract eq (3) from (3)

8x + 4y - (8x - 12y) = - 56 - (-24)

8x + 4y - 8x + 12y = - 32

8x cancels out

4y + 12y = - 32

16y = - 32

y =-2

Substitute y = - 2 in eq (1)

2x - 3(-2) = - 6

2X +6 = - 6

2x =-6-6

2x = - 12

x =-6

Therefore, x= - 6, y= - 2.

A cyclist rides at a constant speed of 15 miles per hour. At this speed, about how long would it take the cyclist to ride from F
frozen [14]

We need to find the time taken to travel from Frederick, MD to Baltimore, MD at a speed of 15 miles per hour.

The time taken to travel the distance is 3 hours and 20 minutes.

The shortest route from Frederick to Baltimore is 50.2 miles via the I-70 E.

So we can assume this route will be taken.

Speed of the cyclist = 15 mph

Time is given by distance divided by speed.

So,

t=\dfrac{50.2}{15}\\\Rightarrow t=3.34\ \text{hours}

Converting to hours and minutes

0.34\times 60=20.4\approx 20

The time taken by the cyclist would be about 3 hours and 20 minutes.

Jenna is looking at two different options for a new cell phone plan. Plan A has a fee of $50 plus an additional fee of $0.05 per
MAVERICK [17]
Plan A = 50 + 0.05(x-500)
Plan b = 20 + 0.06 (x-200)
set A equal to B
50 + 0.05 (x-500) = 20 + 0.06(x-200)
50 + 0.05x - 25 = 20 + 0.06x -12
rearrange like terms on one side.
50 - 25 -20 +12 =0.06x -0.05x
17 = 0.01x
x = 1700 minutes.
