To find the point of intersection, we want to set the two equations equal to each other to find where they meet. The problem is, we have two variables, which means we can't just set them equal to each other as is. We need to manipulate the equations so that we can remove one of the variables at a time to solve for the other one.
First, let's move y to one side so we can solve for x.
2x-3y=9
2x-9=3y
y=(2x-9)/3
5x+4y=11
4y=11-5x
y=(11-5x)/4
Now that they both equal the same thing (y), we can set them equal to each other and solve for x. This will give us the x value for the point of intersection of the lines.
(11-5x)/4=(2x-9)/3
3(11-5x)=4(2x-9)
33-15x=8x-36
33+36=8x+15x
69=23x
x=69/23
x=3
Now, we can do the opposite, and solve for x to find the y coordinate.
2x-3y=9
2x=3y+9
x=(3y+9)/2
5x+4y=11
5x=11-4y
x=(11-4y)/5
(3y+9)/2=(11-4y)/5
5(3y+9)=2(11-4y)
15y+45=22-8y
15y+8y=22-45
23y= -23
y= -1
The coordinates for the point of intersection of the two lines is (3, -1).
distance = speed * time
the first bus speed = x
second bus = x - 12
the sum of distance = 765 miles
first distance = 6x
second distance = 6 (x -12)
6x + 6(x-12) = 765
x + x -12 = 127.5
2x = 139.5
x = 69.75 mi/h which is the faster bus
the second bus speed = 57.75 mi/h
<span>The volume of a pyramid is 1/3 the volume of the cube mentioned in the question since it fits exactly inside it. So multiply 49*3 = 147 cubic feet...
Hope this helped... :)

A linear function has the form y=mx+b
if you insert the point (0,5) in this you receive:
5=m*0+b
5=b
(remember b is the distance to the x axis at x=0, so you can read it directly of)
To get m you insert (4,8) and the previous b:
8=m*4+5
3=4m
3/4=m
your line is: y=3/4x+5
