Answer:
B. equivalent
Step-by-step explanation:
Our two equations are:
Let's use substitution and plug in the expression 
for y in the second equation. That way, we're getting rid of a variable so we can solve for the other:
This means that there are an infinite number of solutions possible for this system - any x value will work. So, the answer is equivalent, because these two equations are essentially the same.
First keep in mind that the center is 5 inches...let L and R be the left and right positions of the two flames...
L=h and R=10-1.5h where h is in hours....
The two flames meet when L=R so we can say:
h=10-1.5h add 1.5h to both sides
2.5h=10 divide both sides by 2.5
h=4
So the flames will meet in five hours, using either original equation we can find this position, I'll use L=h..
L=4
So the position of the flames is 4" from the end. The questions ask how far this point is from the center so:
5-4=1"
So the flames meet 1 inch from the center.
