Answer:

(-6,-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello! Lets get started!

By looking at this problem, we see that both equations equal 2. This makes this problem much easier!

While there are a few methods you could solve this, I will use substitution. First, I need to find what x is in terms of y!

There are many different ways you could do this, here are two:

-x = 2-2y ==> x = -2+2y

-x + 2y = -3x + 8y ==> 2x = 6y ==> x = 3y

For this problem, I am going to use the second answer, x = 3y, as it is simpler!

We need to substitute 3y in for x in either equation; I am going to use the first equation, -x + 2y = 2.

-3y + 2y = 2

-y = 2

y = -2

Now, lets solve for x!

-x + 2(-2) = 2

-x - 4 = 2

-x = 6

x = -6

After plugging the answers into both equations, we see that they are in fact true!

Therefor, our final answer is (-6, -2)

Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

<u>Cities A and B are 1,125 miles apart</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

Distance between A and B in the map = 5 inches

Distance between C and D in the map = 4 inches

Real distance between C and D = 900 miles

2. How many miles apart are cities A and B?

We will solve the question, using Direct Rule of Three, as follows:

Distance in the map      Real distance

A - B     5 inches                    x

C - D     4 inches                900 miles

***************************************************

4x = 900 * 5

4x = 4,500

x = 4,500/4

x = 1,125 miles

<u>Cities A and B are 1,125 miles apart</u>
