3x - 4y = 35
3x + 4y = 5
------------------add
6x = 40
x = 40/6 which reduces to 20/3
3x - 4y = 35
3(20/3) - 4y = 35
20 - 4y = 35
-4y = 35 - 20
-4y = 15
y = -15/4
solution is (20/3, -15/4)
Using proportions, it is found that the family will drive 482.8 km on the new route.
<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>
A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.
In this problem, the family travels a distance of 125% of 240 miles, hence the distance is:
D = 1.25 x 240 = 300 miles.
Since there are are approximately <u>48.28 kilometers in 30 miles</u>, and 300/30 = 10, the distance in kilometers is given by:
D = 48.28 x 10 = 482.8 km.

Answer:
√3/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate.
Hope this helps!! Please consider marking brainliest! Have a good one!!
Step 1: Multiply numerator and denominator by a radical that will get rid of the radical in the denominator.
If the radical in the denominator is a square root, then you multiply by a square root that will give you a perfect square under the radical when multiplied by the denominator. If the radical in the denominator is a cube root, then you multiply by a cube root that will give you a perfect cube under the radical when multiplied by the denominator and so forth...
Note that the phrase "perfect square" means that you can take the square root of it. Just as "perfect cube" means we can take the cube root of the number, and so forth.
Keep in mind that as long as you multiply the numerator and denominator by the exact same thing, the fractions will be equivalent.
Step 2: Make sure all radicals are simplified.
Some radicals will already be in a simplified form, but make sure you simplify the ones that are not. If you need a review on this, go to Tutorial 39: Simplifying Radical Expressions.
Step 3: Simplify the fraction if needed.
Be careful. You cannot cancel out a factor that is on the outside of a radical with one that is on the inside of the radical. In order to cancel out common factors, they have to be both inside the same radical or be both outside the radical.
