Answer:
the solution is (-1, 2)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's solve the system
(3x + 4y = 5)
(2x - 3y = -8)
using the method of elimination by addition and subtraction. Notice that if we multiply all terms of the first equation by 3 and all terms of the second by 4, y as a variable will temporarily disappear:
9x + 12y = 15
8x - 12y = -32
-----------------------
17x = - 17, so x = -1.
Replacing x in the second equation by -1, we get:
2(-1) - 3y = -8, or
2 + 3y = 8,
or 3y = 6. Thus, y = 2, and the solution is (-1, 2).
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2L + 2W
Perimeter = 39
W = 8.5
we plug those into the perimeter equation and get
2L + 2(8.5) = 39
simplify
2L + 17 = 39
subtract 17 from both sides
2L = 22
divide both sides by 2
L = 11
therefore the length of the sheet of paper is 11 in.

Step-by-step explanation:
We don't know the drivers' names or when or where they started. We have made the assumption that the second equation pertains to Kylie.
Each line is plotted with the appropriate slope and y-intercept. The slope is the coefficient of x, and represents the "rise" for each unit of "run" to the right.
