Step-by-step explanation:
(1) 2x - 6y = -12
(2) x + 2y = 14
There is a -6y and a +2y. Since they have opposite signs, I'll try to eliminate the y terms. (That's my choice. There is more than one way to solve these.)
Multiply eq. (2) by 3:
3x + 6y = 42
Then add the result to eq. (1) to eliminate the y terms:
2x - 6y = -12
3x + 6y = 42
------------------
5x = 30, so x = 6
Now plug the value of x into eq. (2) and solve for y:
6 + 2y = 14
2y = 8
y = 4
Why did I use eq. (2) to solve for y? Because it's less work. I could have used eq. (1) instead:
2(6) - 6y = -12
12 - 6y = -12
-6y = -24
y = 4
More than one way to solve.
You would need to know how long the path is to answer this question
The planes will pass each other in 1.14 hours.
Why?
To solve the problem, we must remember that since both planes are heading toward each other, the speed to the calculations will be their combined speeds.
The speed will be:
Now, calculating the time, we have:
Hence, the planes will pass each other in 1.14 hours.
Have a nice day!
