Answer:

22.25 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

First determine how long it will take her to read the entire book

20 pages 47 pages

-------------- = ----------------

35 minutes x minutes

Using cross products

20x = 35*47

20x=1645

Divide by 20

20x/20 = 1645/20

x =82.25 minutes

This is more than 1 hour ( 1 hour = 60 minutes)

82.25 minutes - 60 minutes = 22.25 minutes

She will need 22.25 more minutes

Answer:

$\large\boxed{\bold{one\ solution}\ (1,\ -4)\to x=1,\ y=-4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}y=2x-6\\y=-x-3\end{array}\right\\\\\text{These are linear functions. We only need two points to draw a graph.}\\\\\text{Choice two values of x, substitute to the equation,}\\\text{and calculate the values of y.}\\\\y=2x-6\\for\ x=0\to y=2(0)-6=0-6=-6\to(0,\ -6)\\for\ x=3\to y=2(3)-6=6-6=0\to(3,\ 0)\\\\y=-x-3\\for\ x=0\to y=-0-3=0-3=-3\to(0,\ -3)\\for\ x=-3\to y=-(-3)-3=3-3=0\to(-3,\ 0)\\\\\text{Look at the picture}$
