The cost of the blanket is $20
The cost of each letter is $1.50
If you would like to solve the system of equations, you can do this using the following steps:
-3x + 4y = 12
x * 1/4 - 1/3 * y = 1 ... x * 1/4 = 1 + 1/3 * y ... x = 4 + 4/3 * y
_____________
<span>-3x + 4y = 12
</span>-3 * (4 + 4/3 * y) + 4y = 12
-12 - 4y + 4y = 12
-12 = 12
-12 - 12 = 0
-24 = 0
The correct result would be: <span>the system of the equations has no solution; the two lines are parallel.</span>
Answer
4+21m
Explanation
Use the distributive property 4 times 1 and 4 times 7m keep the m
Step-by-step explanation:
are you sure you wrote the problem here correctly ?
because the distance will be 40km after less than half an hour just by the first car driving. way before the second car even starts.
to be precise, it would be after 60 minutes × 40 / 90
(= how many minutes of an hour are needed to reach 40km while going 90km/h) :
60 × 40 / 90 = 60 × 4 / 9 = 20 × 4 / 3 = 80/3 = 26.67 minutes.
but maybe the question was about 400km distance between the two cars.
so, the first car goes 90km/h for 2 hours.
at that moment it will be 2×90=180km ahead.
that would mean that 220km are still missing for the 400km assumption.
with each hour driving the first car makes 20km more than the second car.
to build up 220km that way would require
220/20 = 11 hours.
plus the 2 original head start hours this would make 13 hours as overall answer.
