y = x + 2
y = -3x
Do y = -3x in y = x + 2
y = x + 2
-3x = x + 2
-3x - x = 2
-4x = 2
x = -2/4
x = -1/2
Now put x = -1/2 in y = -3x
y = -3x
y = -3.(-1/2)
y = 3/2

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Set up a proportion.
3/25 = x / 20 Notice that both times are in the denominators. Be sure you always set up a proportion that way. Like units in the denominator. Like units in the numerator.
Cross multiply
3 * 20 = 25 * x Combine
60 = 25x Divide by 25
60/25 = x
x = 2.4 miles in 20 minutes.
