Answer:
9
Step-by-step explanation:
36/4 = 9
Because he drove 1542.75 miles in 3 days, you would have to divide 1542.75 by 3 to figure out how many miles he drove in one day.
1542.75/3 = 514.25
Then to figure out how many miles he drove per hour, you would divide 514.25 by 8.5, which is the same as 8 1/2 hours.
514.25/8.5 = 60.5
So the answer is 60.5 mph
Answer:
8 and 6
Step-by-step explanation:
If you use x for the first number, and y for the second, you get equations of 3x+5y=54 and x-2=y.
You can substitute the second equation into the first one to solve it. This gives 3x+5(x-2)=54.
The brackets can be expanded to 3x+5x-10=54. Collecting like terms makes it 8x-10=54.
Next, we add 10 to both sides. This gives 8x=64.
From there, we isolate the x by dividing both sides by 8, giving x=8.
To work out the second number, we can sub 8 for x in either equation (I'm using the second one as it's simpler).
This comes to y=8-2, therefore y=6.
