Answer:
43 - mile taxi ride = at least 49 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
49 minutes = 27 price
X + y = 62
x - y = 12
Move x over so y is alone in one of the above equations,
y = 62-x
Now substitte in y
x-(62-x) = 12
x - 62 + x = 12
2x = 12 + 62
2x/2 = 74/2
x = 37
Now for y sub in the x!
x + y = 62
(37) + y = 62
y = 62 - 37
y = 25.
So 25 + 37 =62
and 37 - 25 = 12
Method 2 :
Start by stacking the 2 original equations from above,
x+y=62
x-y=12
You want to "cancel" out one of the variable so,
x+y=62
+ + = +
x - y =12
So then you add,
2x = 74
2x / 2 = 74 / 2
x = 37.
Now you can once again sub it back into the original equation to solve for y,
x+y=62
(37)+y=62
y=62-37
y=25
Hope this helps!
The first one:
5v + 3 = 5v - 5
Subtract 5v from both sides ->
3 = -5
This isn't true so that means there are no solutions...
