Answer:

The average speed is 30 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of change of distance with time is speed.

i.e Speed = \frac{distance}{time}

Let his average speed be represented by s.

Given that she covers 300 miles with an average speed.

So that;

s = \frac{300}{t}

⇒ t = \frac{300}{s} .................. 1

Also, if her average speed has been 7 mph less, she could have traveled only 230 miles in the same length of time. This implies that;

(s - 7) = \frac{230}{t}

⇒ t = \frac{230}{(s-7)} ............... 2

Thus equating 1 and 2, we have;

\frac{300}{s} = \frac{230}{(s-7)}

230s = 300s - 2100

collecting like terms,

2100 = 300s - 230s

2100 = 70s

divide both sides by 70,

s = \frac{2100}{70}

 = 30 mph

The average speed is 30 mph.

inessss [21]
Answer: x = 27, y = 23


Explanation:

x = chickens
y = horses

║ x + y = 50
║ 2x + 4y = 146

║ 2x + 2y = 100
║ 2x + 4y = 146

(2x + 4y = 146) - (2x + 2y = 100)

2y = 46
y = 23                    <span> <<<<<<<< We found y ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Sub y = 23 into </span> x + y = 50

x+ 23 = 50

x = 50 - 23

x = 27                   <<<<<<<< We found x ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
