Step 1: multiple the second equation by 2 so that you get -1/4 for the coefficient of y, the same as in equation 1
equation 2 multiply by 2: 1/4 x - 1/4 y=38 ..........name this equation 3
subtract equation 1 from equation 3: (1/4 x -1/2 x)=38-10
-1/4 x = 28
x=-112
plug in x=-112 in any of the equation, you will get y=-264
so the answer is A
Answer:
The actual speed of the car is either 57 mph or 63 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
Given as :
The measured speed o the car = 60 mph
The percentage error in speedometer = 5 %
Let The actual speed of car = x mph
Now, percentage error =
× 100
So,
= 
or,
× 60 = x - 60
Or, 3 = x - 60
∴ x = 63 mph
Hence The actual speed of the car is either 57 mph or 63 mph . Answer
Are you trying to simply the equation if so x = 6
