The answer is 1 and 7/8, all you have to do is turn the 3/4 into eighths.
X=2y
2x+5y=9
substitute the x=2y into the second equation
2(2y)+5y=9
multiple the 2y by 2. 4y+5y=9
combine like terms. 9y=9
divide the 9 out from both sides. y=1
plug the y back into the first equation
x=2(1)
multiply. x=2
your answer is: x=2
y=1
Answer:
1.50
Step-by-step explanation:
8 x 1.50=12
25-12=13
13-4=9
9/6=1.5
Answer: 15 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation is 5.25+1.25x=24 where x is each additional mile so to solve for x it would be 1.25x=18.75 and divide both sides to solve for x
