Think of 6y as
y + y + y + y + y + y
Now subtract a y from that.
y + y + y + y + y + y - y = y + y + y + y + y = 5y
Brett ran 9 1/2 miles or 9.5 miles
Adam ran 5.75 miles
9.5 - 5.75 = 3.75
Brett ran 3.75 miles more than Adam
Answer:
Cyclist A lives farther from the Orchard
Step-by-step explanation:
Given


Required:
Who lives farther from the Orchard.
To do this, we simply calculate the y intercept.
This represents the total distance traveled to get to the Orchard
To calculate y intercept, we set 
So:




From the above computation:

Hence;
Cyclist A lives farther from the Orchard
