We have a system of equations 2x - 4y = 5 and 6x - 3y = 10.
We want to eliminate one variable when we add up the equations.
If we want to eliminate the x variable, we need to multiply the top, bottom or both of the equations with a number that when the equations are added together will eliminate the x variable.
Multiply the top equation by -3.
-3(2x - 4y) = 5 * -3
-6x + 12y = -15
Now when we add the two equations together, the x's will be eliminated.
-6x + 12y = -15
6x + 6y = 10
18y = -5
The x's were eliminated.

Answer:
<u>The average speed coming home was 63.27 miles per hour</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:
Speed from home to Maine = 58 miles per hour
Time of the first leg of the trip = 3 hours or 180 minutes
Time of the second leg of the trip = 15 minutes less = 180 - 15 = 165 minutes or 2 hours 45 minutes
2. What was my average speed coming home?
Let's calculate the distance from home to Maine, this way:
Speed = Distance/Time
Distance = Speed * Time
Distance = 58 * 3 = 174 miles
Now, let's calculate the speed of the second leg, as follows:
Speed = Distance/Time
2 hours 45 minutes = 2.75
Speed = 174/2.75
<u>Speed = 63.27 miles per hour</u>
8 - 15 means subtract the positive number 15 from 8.
8 - 15 = 8 + (-15) = -7
8 - (-15) means subtract the negative number -15 from 8.
Subtracting a negative number is the same as adding a positive number.
8 - (-15) = 8 + 15 = 23
8 - 15 = -7, and 8 - (-15) = 23. The expressions mean different operations and have different answers.
Answer:
-x + 5y + 7
-This should be the answer
