Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = 8, y = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Equating corresponding x and y coordinates , then
- y = - x + 5 ( multiply through by - 1 )
y = x - 5 → (1)
2x - 5y = 1 → (2)
Substitute y = x - 5 into (2)
2x - 5(x - 5) = 1 ← distribute and simplify left side
2x - 5x + 25 = 1
- 3x + 25 = 1 ( subtract 25 from both sides )
- 3x = - 24 ( divide both sides by - 3 )
x = 8
Substitute x = 8 into (1) for corresponding value of y
y = 8 - 5 = 3
Answer: 80 miles
Work: I just did 40 times 2 because they completed half their trip, and they need to complete 40 more miles.
