Answer:

(-4, 5)

Step-by-step explanation (work shown in attached picture):

1) Since x is already isolated in the first equation, substitute that value for x into the other equation to find y. So, substitute 16-4y for the x in 3x + 4y = 8, then solve for y. This gives us y = 5.

2) Now, substitute that given value for y back into any one of the equations to find x. I chose to do it in the first equation. Substitute 5 for the y in x = 16-4y, then solve for x this time. This gives us x = -4.

Since x = -4 and y = 5, the solution is (-4, 5).

guapka [62]

Ron walks 1/2 mile in 10 minutes. There are six 10 minute intervals in an hour 60 divided by 10 is 6. So, therefore he can walk 1 mile in 20 minutes, 1/3 of an hour and a total of 3 miles per hour.
3 x 20 = 60.

Stevie walks 1/4 of a mile in 6 minutes, so that's 12 minutes to walk 1/2 mile. 60/12=5
Stevie can walk 5 half miles which transfers to 2 1/2 miles per hour.
