Answer:
ali probley has a 50% chance
Step-by-step explanation:
For a system of two variables and two equations, each equation will be a linear graph, and where the lines intersect is the solution as an ordered pair (x,y). If the lines don’t intersect (they’re parallel) so there is no unique solution.
Let the slower runners speed be X kilometers per hour.
Then the faster runners speed would be X+2 kilometers per hour.
The formula for distance is Speed times time.
The distance is given as 30 kilometers and time is given as 3 hours.
Since there are two runners you need to add the both of them together.
The equation becomes 30 = 3x + 3(x+2)
Now solve for x:
30 = 3x + 3(x+2)
Simplify:
30 = 3x + 3x +6
30 = 6x + 6
Subtract 6 from each side:
24 = 6x
Divide both sides by 6:
x = 24/6
x = 4
The slower runner ran at 4 kilometers per hour.
The faster runner ran at 4+2 = 6 kilometers per hour.
Hope this was what you’re looking for ^.^
(If correct, if you don’t mind can you please mark me as the brainliest, it’s okay if not)
x = 2
solve 4x + 6 = 2x + 10
subtract 2x from both sides
2x + 6 = 10
subtract 6 from both sides
2x = 10 - 6 = 4
divide both sides by 2
x =
= 2
as a check f(2) =(4 × 2 )+ 6 = 14 and g(2) =( 2× 2) + 10 = 14
