Answer:

Cyclist A lives farther from the Orchard

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

A(x) =48.5 -21x

B(x) =42 -16.8x

Required:

Who lives farther from the Orchard.

To do this, we simply calculate the y intercept.

This represents the total distance traveled to get to the Orchard

To calculate y intercept, we set x = 0

So:

A(x) =48.5 -21x

A(0) = 48.5-21*0 =48.5-0 =48.5

B(x) =42 -16.8x

B(0) = 42 - 16.8*0 =42-0 =42

From the above computation:

A(0) > B(0) \to 48.5 > 42

Hence;

Cyclist A lives farther from the Orchard

Solve the system ... y=3x-8 and y=-9x+4
natita [175]
1] y - 3x = -8
[2] y + 9x = 4

-3x + y = -8 9x + y = 4

Solve equation [2] for the variable y


[2] y = -9x + 4

// Plug this in for variable y in equation [1]

[1] (-9x+4) - 3x = -8
[1] - 12x = -12
// Solve equation [1] for the variable x


[1] 12x = 12

[1] x = 1
// By now we know this much :

y = -9x+4
x = 1
// Use the x value to solve for y

y = -9(1)+4 = -5

{y,x} = {-5,1}
