You want to solve this set of linear equations by the elimination method.
Let x=price of bag of flour and y=price of bag of sugar
Multiply the first equation by -3.
-3(7x+5y=584)
Multiply the second equation by 5.
5(5x+3y=384)
Solve by elimination.
X=42
Substitute value of x into one of the original equations.
Y=58
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
I hope these are people in vehicles travelling toward each other.
80 mh * t + 40 mph * t = 420 miles
The two vehicles are going to travel a total of 420 miles. B will cover a lot more ground than A, but together they will make 420 miles
80t + 40t = 420
120t = 420
t = 420/120
t = 3.5
So after driving 3.5 hours, the two cars will meet.
