ANSWER
The solution is

EXPLANATION
The given equations are:

and

We multiply equation 1 by 3 to get,

We multiply equation 2 also by 2 to get,

We subtract equation 4 from equation 3 to get,

This implies that,

We put this value of y into any of the equations say equation 2

Simplify

Group like terms

Simplify,

Divide both sides by 3 to get,

Therefore the solution is

The correct answer is option D.
I'm pretty sure the answer is 2.9 because It's closer to 3 than 2
R is greater then or equal to18
We can solve this two different ways. I'll do both, and you choose which one makes the most sense:
We can divide the fraction 3/4 by 12. remember, when we divide fractions, we flip the second fraction and change the sign to multiplication:
3/4 ÷12 [starting equation]
3/4 x 1/12 [flip and change sign]
3/48 [now reduce]
1/16 Each step takes 1/16 of an hour.
1/16 x 60 = 3 3/4, or 3.75 minutes
Second way:
3/4 of an hour is 3/4 of 60...45 minutes.
Still, we divide out:
45 ÷ 12 [starting equation]
3 9/12 [divide with remainder]
3 3/4 minutes...3.75 minutes
