Question 5.
The function given shows represents height after a certain time. The distance measures is initial distance till the distance covered when the time is calculated. The question has given us an initial distance of 100 feet and they want us to calculate the time when the egg hits the ground, or, in other words, 0 feet. So, next, we substitute this information in the equation.
Chris is going 10 mph. After 9 hours, Chris has gone 90 miles. Elena is going 14 mph. After 9 hours, she has gone 126 miles. 126 miles is 36 miles more then 90 miles.
X+y=8
multiply the first equation by 3 to get rid of x
3x+3y=24
3x+2y=14
subtract equation 1 from 2
y=10
substitute to find the value of x
x+10=8
x=-2
