We graphically solve
by graphing
and
and eyeballing the points where they intersect each other.
Really none of our choices are the solution set listing all the (x,y) pairs where the two functions meet because none of them is a set.
Anyway we count from the origin five to the right and three up to the meet of the lines, which is the point
, last choice.
If they don't stop 1 hour and a half.

Answer:
12t -3 = 18t
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
d = your friends distance in miles
t = time in hrs
Your equation:
d - 3 = 18t (1)
Because you are 3 miles behind your friend
Your Friend's equation:
d = 12t (2)
To find the amount of time t it takes for you to catch up with your friend,
Substitute (2) into (1)
d - 3 = 18t
12t - 3 = 18t
Equation to find the amount of time t it takes for you to catch up to your friend is 12t - 3 = 18t
Solving the equation
12t - 3 = 18t
Collect like terms
12t - 18t = 3
-6t = 3
t = 3/-6
= -0.5
t = 1/2 hour
Time can not be negative, therefore it will take 1/2 an hour to catch up with your friend
-10x-10 = -3x+4
+3x +3x
————————
-7x-10 = 4
+10 +10
————————
-7x = 14
then divide -7 on both side of the equal sign
you’ll get x=-2
then plug in -2 as x into one of the equations ( it doesn’t matter which one)
y= -10(-2)-10 = 20-10= 10
so y=10
