He drove 178 miles in the afternoon. 248-70=178
Answer:
The solution would be (5, -2)
Step-by-step explanation:
To use this method, start by multiplying the second equation by -1. Then add the two equations together.
9x + 5y = 35
-2x - 5y = 0
------------------
7x = 35
x = 5
Now that we have the value of x, use it to solve either equation for y.
2x + 5y = 0
2(5) + 5y = 0
10 + 5y = 0
5y = -10
y = -2
9x - 2 = 67
67 + 2 = 69
69 × 9 = 621
621 = x
