Answer:

he is 23 miles northeast from this starting spot

Step-by-step explanation:

ok so you start with the directions and notice they are different but this equation worked in our favor because the directions are north and east then all you do is add 8 + 15 and you get 23 so its 23 miles northeast from starting position

Solve the system by the elimination method.<br><br> 2a + 3b = 6<br> 5a + 2b - 4 = 0

mariarad [96]

2a + 3b = 6 --> Equation 1
5a + 2b = 4 --> Equation 2
Equation 1 * 5 --> 10a + 15b = 30
Equation 2 * 2 --> 10a + 4b = 8
Equation 1 - Equation 2 --> 11b = 22 --> b = 2
Sub b=2 in Equation 1 (or 2, either works):
2a + 3b = 6
2a + 3(2) = 6
2a + 6 = 6
2a = 0
a = 0

b = 2, a = 0
