Answer:

  • 1/2 hour
  • 20 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Your friend has a head start of (2 h)×(8 mi/h) = 16 mi.

When you leave, you gain on your friend at the rate of 40 mph - 8 mph = 32 mph. So, it will take ...

  (16 mi)/(32 mi/h) = 1/2 h

for you to reduce the distance between you to zero.

In that 1/2 hour, you have traveled ...

  (1/2 h)×(40 mi/h) = 20 mi

__

This is the same distance your friend has traveled in 2.5 hours at 8 mi/h.

Answer:

(3, 3 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

3x - y = 6 → (1)

6x + y = 21 → (2)

Adding the 2 equations term by term will eliminate y, that is

(6x + 3x) + (y - y) = (21 + 6), that is

9x = 27 (divide both sides by 9 )

x = 3

Substitute x = 3 into either (1) or (2) and solve for y

Using (2), then

(6 × 3) + y = 21

18 + y = 21 ( subtract 18 from both sides )

y = 3

Solution is (3, 3 )
