Let 2x – y = 3 ——— equation 1
Let x + 5y = 14 ——— equation 2
Making x the subject in eqn 1, = x = y + 3 / 2 ——— eqn 3
• Put eqn 3 in eqn 2
(y + 3 / 2) + 5y = 14
6y = 14 – 3/2
6y = 25/2
y = 25/12
• put y = 25/12 in eqn 3
x = (25/12 + 3/2)
x = 43/12
Answer:
6 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
A mile is 5280 ft. When you divided 31,680 ft by 5280 ft you get six miles. Hope this helped!
Two angles are said to be supplementary if their sum is 180 degrees. So, if x and y are supplementary angles, the formula is

We know that one of the angles (say x) is 98. So, the equation updates to

If we want to solve for the other angle, we can simply subtract 98 from both sides to get
