Answer:

17 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's define:

North as the positive y-axis

East as the positive x-axis.

We know that Laura lives 15 miles east of Kevin's place.

Kevin lives 8 miles south of Michelle's place.

So, if we define the origin, (0, 0) as Laura's place.

From:

"that Laura lives 15 miles east of Kevin's place."

We have that the location of Kevin's house is 15 miles west from Laura's place, then Kevin's house is at:

(0, 0) + (-15mi, 0) = (-15mi, 0)

From Kevin lives 8 miles south of Michelle's place, we know that Michelle's live 8 miles north of Kevin's place.

Then the location of Michele's house is the location of Kevin's plus (0, 8mi).

Michelle's house is located at:

(-15mi, 0) + (0, 8mi)  =(-15mi, 8mi)

Now we want to find the distance between Michelle's house and Laura's house.

Michelle's house is at (-15mi, 8mi)

Laura's house is at (0mi, 0mi)

Remember that the distance between two points (a, b) and (c, d) is given by:

D = \sqrt{(a - c)^2 + (b - d)^2}

Then the distance between  (-15mi, 8mi) and (0mi, 0mi) is:

D = \sqrt{(-15mi - 0mi)^2 + (8mi - 0mi)^2} = 17mi

The correct option is the first one, 17 miles.

The sum of two numbers is 9 . one number is nine less than twice the other. find the two numbers.
dimulka [17.4K]
Hello!

To solve this problem, we will use a system of equations. We will have one number be x and the other y. We will use substitutions to solve for each variable.

x+y=9
x=2y-9

To solve for the two numbers, we need to solve the top equation. The second equation shows that x=2y-9. In the first equation, we can replace 2y-9 for x and solve.

2y-9+y=9
3y-9=9
3y=18
y=6

We now know the value of y. Now we need to find x. We can plug in 6 for y in the second equation to find x.

x=2·6-9
x=12-9
x=3

Just to check, we will plug these two numbers into the first equation.


3+6=9
9=9

Our two numbers are three and six.

I hope this helps!
