Answer:

3 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Two cyclists leave town at the same time on the same road going in  the same direction.

Cyclist A is going 6 mph faster than cyclist B

Let speed of cyclist B be x mph

Speed of cyclist A be (x+6) mph

Both cyclist leave town at the same time and traveled 8 hours.  

  • Distance covered by cyclist A in 8 hours= 8(x+6)
  • Distance covered by cyclist B in 8 hours= 8x

After 8 hours cyclist A has traveled 3 times the distance as cyclist B

Therefore, 8(x+6) = 3(8x)

8x + 48 = 24x

24x - 8x = 48

       16x = 48

          x = 3 mph

Hence, The speed of cyclist B was 3 mph

How do i solve the system of equations by graphing?<br>2x+y=7 <br>x-2y=6
scoray [572]

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

1. y = -2x + 7

2. Graph it (Mark (0, 7) or 7 on the y axis and go over one, down two, mark it and draw a line through both)

3. -2y = -x + 6

4. divide entire equation by 2 to isolate y

5. -y = -x + 3

6. multiply entire equation by -1 to make it positive

7. y=x+3

8. graph it (Mark (0,3) and go over one, down one, mark it and draw a line through both new points)

9. Where the lines intersect is your answer
