Answer:

David's average speed is 55 mph and Andrew's average speed is 70 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let David's speed be s.

Average speed is given as:

speed = distance / time

They both spent the same time, t.

David's speed is:

s = 110 / t

=> t = 110 / s

Andrew travels 15 mph faster than David.

Andrew's speed is:

(15 + s) = 140 / t

=> t = 140 / (15 + s)

Therefore, since they spent the same time:

110 / s = 140 / (15 + s)

Cross multiply:

110(15 + s) = 140s

1650 + 110s = 140s

1650 = 140s - 110s

30s = 1650

s = 1650 / 30

s = 55 mph

Andrew's speed is:

15 + 55 = 70 mph

Therefore, David's average speed is 55 mph and Andrew's average speed is 70 mph.

Take second equation here, 
2x + 9 = -12
2x = -12 - 9
2x = -21
Multiply by 2, 
4x = -42

Now, substitute the vaue of 4x in 1st equation, 
-42 - y = 2
-y = 2 + 42
y = -44

In short, Your Answer would be -44

Hope this helps!
