Answer:
x=3, y=-2. (3, -2).
Step-by-step explanation:
4x+2y=8
5x+3y=9
---------------
simplify 4x+2y=8 into 2x+y=4
-----------------
2x+y=4
5x+3y=9
----------------
y=4-2x
5x+3(4-2x)=9
5x+12-6x=9
-x=9-12
-x=-3
x=3
2(3)+y=4
6+y=4
y=4-6
y=-2
The slope of the line on the graph represents Pete's speed. That slope is 8 miles/hour.
Paul walks 2 miles in 0.4 hours, so walks at (2/0.4) miles/hour = 5 miles/hour.
a) Pete is moving at a greater rate.
b) At 8 miles per hour, it takes Pete (2 mi)/(8 mi/h) = 1/4 h = 15 minutes to get to school. If Pete leaves 5 minutes later than Paul, he will reach school 20 minutes after Paul starts, while Paul is still 4 minutes away from the school.
Yes, Pete will catch Paul before they get to school.
