3 * x = 4y (from the question)
X+y = 21 (from the question)

3(21-y) = 4y (sub equation 2 in equation 1)

63-3y = 4y

Y=9 (now you sub the 9 instead of y in any of the equations and solve for x)
X=21-y = 21-9 = 12

Hope it helps, the logic is sound just go over the math.

On his way to the park, Nathan rides his bike at a rate of 0.50 mile per minute for 3 minutes. He stops to admire an antique car
TiliK225 [7]

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

Although the question is not complete, but with the context of the question, they are most likely going to ask for the total distance travelled or the total time or speed. So let's work on that.

Total time travelled = (3 + 5 + 4) = 12mins

Total speed travelled = (0.50 + 0.00 + 0.40)miles/min = 0.90mile/min

The 0.00 represents the period he was at rest admiring an antique car. At this moment, he was not moving so his speed is 0.

Total distance travelled = total speed x total time = 0.90miles/min x 12min = 10.8miles
