X= -2 and x= 2 are the answers
Answer:
$15.95
Step-by-step explanation (without words):
9.57/3= 3.19
3.19*5= $15.95
So,
Home ---- gym = 3.6 mi.
gym ---- store = .7 mi.
store ----- home = x
3.6 + .7 + x = 7.2 mi.
Collect Like Terms
4.3 + x = 7.2
Subtract 4.3 from both sides
x = 2.9
The distance from the store to her home is 2.9 miles.
Let's solve for x first,
3x + 5y - 5y = 1 - 5y
3x/3 = 1/3 - 5y/3
x = 1/3 - 5/3y
Let's now plug that into the other equation,
7(1/3 - 5/3y) + 4y = -13
7/3 - 35/3y + 4y = -13
7/3 - 7 2/3y - 7/3 = -13 - 7/3
- 7 2/3y (-3/23) = -15 1/3 (-3/23)
y = 2
The answer is 2
