-3x + 7y = -16 . . . (1)
-9x + 5y = 16 . . . .(2)
(1) x 3 => -9x + 21y = -48 . . . (3)
(2) - (3) => -16y = 64 . . . (4)
Required equivalent system of equations is
-9x + 5y = 16
-16y = 64
Answer:
If Henry walks along the sidewalks, he will walk 1.7 miles in total. It will take him 17 minutes to reach the store and another 17 minutes to come back.
If Henry cuts through the city, he will walk √(1.2² + 0.5²) = 1.3 miles in total. It will take him 22.3 minutes to reach the store and another 22.3 minutes to come back.
Even though Henry will need to walk a longer distance if he walks along the sidewalks, he will be able to reach the store and back back in a shorter time than if he cuts through the city.

Answer:
5/8 is smaller.
Step-by-step explanation:
A ratio is just a different type of fraction, a 5:8 ratio means 5/8 which is 0.625. A 7:9 ratio equals 7/9 which is 0.777777
Then to compare them you see which is smaller or bigger.
0.77777 is bigger than 0.625 so we know that 0.77777777 which was the 7:9 ratio is the bigger one.
