i had a test with the same question, i promise its right :)
x = 3 + y Eqn(1)
y = -2x + 9 Eqn(2)
Let us solve the system of equations with the substitution method
x - 3 = y (Subtracting 3 from both sides of the Eqn(1))
Replacing y = x - 3 in Eqn (2), we have:
x - 3 = -2x + 9
x = -2x + 9 + 3 (Adding 3 to both sides of the equation)
x + 2x = 9 + 3 (Adding 2x to both sides of the equation)
3x = 12 ( Adding like terms)
x = 12/3 (Dividing by 3 on both sides of the equation)
x = 4
Replacing x=4 in Eqn(1), we have:
4 = 3 + y
4 - 3 = y (Subtracting 3 from both sides of the equation)
y=1
The answers are:
x= 4 and y=1
Answer:
1 hour 56 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Given :
Time taken by Lucy = 3 hours 15 minutes = 3.25 hours
Time taken by brother = 4 hours 45 minutes = 4.75 hours
Rate = 1 / time taken
Lucy's rate = 1 / 3.25
Brother's rate = 1 / 4.75
Combined rate = Lucy's rate + brother's rate
Combined rate = 1/3.25 + 1/4.75
Combined rate = 0.5182186
Time taken if they work together = 1/ combined rate
= 1 / 0.5182186
= 1.9296 hours
= 1 hour (0.9296 * 60) minutes
= 1 hour 56 minutes (approximately)
