Answer:
(- 2, - 1 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
2x - 3y = - 1 → (1)
x + 4y = - 6 → (2)
Rearrange (2) expressing x in terms of y by subtracting 4y from both sides
x = - 6 - 4y → (3)
Substitute x = - 6 - 4y into (1)
2(- 6 - 4y) - 3y = - 1 ← distribute and simplify left side
- 12 - 8y - 3y = - 1
- 12 - 11y = - 1 ( add 12 to both sides )
- 11y = 11 ( divide both sides by - 11 )
y = - 1
Substitute y = - 1 into (3) for corresponding value of x
x = - 6 - 4(- 1) = - 6 + 4 = - 2
Solution is (- 2, - 1 )
The first one is the correct answer
Answer: 10.5 miles
Step-by-step explanation: If she runs 7 miles for 50 minutes, if you half it, she runs 3.5 miles in 25 minutes. This means if you add 7 and 3.5 miles, you would add 50 and 25 minutes,
So 10.5 miles in 75 minutes in your answer
