\bf \begin{array}{ccll} \stackrel{map}{inches}&\stackrel{actual}{feet}\\ \cline{1-2} 3&20\\ x&12 \end{array}\implies \cfrac{3}{x}=\cfrac{20}{12}\implies \cfrac{3\cdot 12}{20}=x\implies \cfrac{9}{5}=x\implies 1\frac{4}{5}=x

Describe in words how you would solve the linear system y = 3x + 1 and y = - 2x + 3.
Sergio [31]
We are using substitution to solve this problem.

y=3x+1
y=-2x+3
Make these equal each other: 3x+1=-2x+3
Add 2x to both sides: 3x+2x+1=-2x+2x+3
= 5x+1=3
Subtract 1 from both sides; 5x+1-1=3-1
= 5x=2
Divide 5 from both sides: 5x/5=2/5
X= 2/5
Plug X into one of the equations: y=3(2/5) +1
y=11/5(2.2)

(2/5,11/5)
