Question

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST

Answer 1

Set up a system of equations and say green route is x and blue route is y

This will give you
Monday 6x + 5y= 52
Tuesday 12x + 13y = 119

Solve by multiplying the top equation by two to get
12x + 10y= 104

Since you have 12x in both equations, these cancel out when you subtract the bottom from the top. This leaves you with

-3y=-15
Y=5

The blue route is 5 miles, but they want to know the green route. Fill in the y value in either one of your equations. Let’s use the one from Tuesday

12x + 13 (5) = 119
12x= 54
X= 4.5

This means that the answer is B, 4.5 miles
