4x - 5y = -12
-x + 5y = 18
Add the equations together:
4x + -x = 3x
-5y + 5y = 0
-12 + 18 = 6
So now you have:
3x = 6
Divide both sides by 3:
X = 2
Now you have the value of x, replace x with 2 in one of the equations and solve for y:
4(2) -5y = -12
8 -5y = -12
Subtract 8 from both sides:
-5y = -20
Divide both sides by -5:
Y = 4
The solution is x = 2 and y = 4 which is written as (2,4)
recalling that d = rt, distance = rate * time.
we know Hector is going at 12 mph, and he has already covered 18 miles, how long has he been biking already?

so Hector has been biking for those 18 miles for 3/2 of an hour, namely and hour and a half already.
then Wanda kicks in, rolling like a lightning at 16mph.
let's say the "meet" at the same distance "d" at "t" hours after Wanda entered, so that means that Wanda has been traveling for "t" hours, but Hector has been traveling for "t + (3/2)" because he had been biking before Wanda.
the distance both have travelled is the same "d" miles, reason why they "meet", same distance.

Answer:
Angela, a proportion is two equal ratios, kinda like 3/4 = 6/8.
If we call the number of cars c, then our proportion is 3/10 = c/100.
Cross multiplying, we get 10c = 300.
Dividing both sides by 10, c = 30.
The parent function is : f ( x ) = x³
f ( x + 3 ) = ( x + 3 )³
It is B ) shift to the left 3 units.
