Where are the statements please?
So for eliminating, you only solve for one variable first.
I solved for y, so I multiplied by -4 to eliminate the x.
Then I got y= -1
I then substituted that to one of the equations to get x.
Hope this will help u..............
Answer:
7 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's call the distance between the library and police station x. Then, the distance between the police station and fire station would be 3 less than twice x. Twice means multiply by 2 so twice x is 2 * x = 2x and 3 less than means that you subtract 3 so 3 less than 2x is 2x - 3. Now, we know that x = 5 so all we have to do now is substitute x = 5 into 2x - 3, therefore, the answer is 2 * 5 - 3 = 7 miles.
You can start from any of the options mentioned above however make sure to follow the rule of BODMMAS but you can start from (D) 54÷3 if you just really want a section to start with
