Explanation:
This is a self-answering question: you solve it by graphing the equations.
<em>The solution is where the lines intersect</em>. The point of intersection of the lines is the point that satisfies all the equations for the lines, hence is a solution to the system. If they do not intersect, there are no solutions. If the lines are coincident, there are an infinite number of solutions.

The equations can be graphed by any of a number of methods. (My favorite is to let a graphing calculator do it.) The method of choice depends on the coefficients and the form the equations are given in. Methods of graphing are a topic for a more lengthy discussion.
If you sketch the path of the boat, you will form a right triangle towards the port. The distance from the port to the present position is the hypotenuse since it is opposite from the right angle formed by the 12 miles north and 5 miles east movement. Since it is a right triangle, use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve the hypotenuse.
Solution:
h² = o² + a²
h² = 12² + 5²
h² = 144 + 25
h² = 169
√h² = √169
h= 13
The present distance of the boat from the port is 13 miles.
62$ (earns of 1 week) multiplied with 52 weeks (how often he earns the 62$) is 3224
