Let 2x – y = 3 ——— equation 1
Let x + 5y = 14 ——— equation 2
Making x the subject in eqn 1, = x = y + 3 / 2 ——— eqn 3
• Put eqn 3 in eqn 2
(y + 3 / 2) + 5y = 14
6y = 14 – 3/2
6y = 25/2
y = 25/12
• put y = 25/12 in eqn 3
x = (25/12 + 3/2)
x = 43/12
Points: (0,4) and (2,-3)
Find slope: (-3-4)/(2) = -7/2
4 = -7/2(0) + b, b = 4
Equation: y = -7/2x + 4
Answer: 5 miles
Step-by-step explanation: If she goes 3 times a week for 8 weeks she goes for a total of 24 days. In those 24 days she wants to bike 120 miles. Divide 120 by 24. You get 5. Therefore she needs to bike 5 miles each day she goes to the gym to achieve her goal.
