Answer:
x=1, y=4
Step-by-step explanation:
x+y=5 - (1)
y=3x + 1 (2)
Sub (2) into (1)
x + (3x +1)=5
4x=5-1
x=4 ÷4
=1
Sub x=1 into (2)
y=3(1)+1
= 4
We will use the equation:
r t = 3/4 r ( t+12 ) /:r
t = 3/4 t + 9
t - 3/4 t = 9
1/4 t = 9
t = 9 * 4 = 36 minutes ( takes a trip to the market )
36 + 12 = 48 minutes
The ride home takes 48 minutes.
