A car is traveling on a small highway and is either going 55 miles per hour or 35 miles per hour, depending on the speed limits,

until it reaches its destination 200 miles away. Letting x represent the amount of time in hours that the car is going 55 miles per hour, and y being the time in hours that the car is going 35 miles per hour, an equation describing the relationship is:
55x + 35y = 200

If the car spends 2.5 hours going 35 miles per hour on the trip, how long does it spend going 55 miles per hour?

Round your answer to the nearest hundredths decimal place.

Answer:

  2.05 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the given equation with the given time, we have ...

  55x +35(2.5) = 200

  55x = 112.5 . . . . . . . . subtract 87.5

  x = 2.05 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 55

The car spends 2.05 hours at 55 mph.

HELP ME ASAP PLEASE!!
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

a=45 b=65

Step-by-step explanation:

You know that all the angle measures of a triangle add to 180. So the equation would be angle a + angle b + 70 = 180. Subsitute and simplify and you get 16x -2 + 70 = 180. Subtract 70 from 180 to get 16x -2=110 add 2 to get 16x =110. Divide each side by 16 to gte x=7. Subsitute x = 7 into the equations for angle a and angle b to get the answers above

X + 2y =6<br> X- y =3<br> Solution?
VikaD [51]
Since one equation has a negative y and the other has a positive y, I'm going to use those since they cancel each other out. Before that, the two y's need to be equal to each other.

x+2y=6
x-y=3

Multiply the bottom equation by two so then you have:

x+2y=6
2x-2y=6

The y's now cancel out:

x=6
2x=6

Add them together

3x=12

Divide

x=4.

To find y, plug x into either equation (*don't have to do both, but I will)

(4)+2y=6
(4)-y=3

Subtract four

2y=2
-y=-1

Divide each

2y/2 = 2/2
y=1

-y/-1 = -1/-1
y=1

The answer is:
x=4
y=1

I hope that helps!
