Answer:
x = 3 , y = 13
Step-by-step explanation:
Note that both equations is equal to y. Set the two equations equal to each other
y = 7x - 8; y = 5x - 2
7x - 8 = y = 5x - 2
7x - 8 = 5x - 2
Isolate the x. Subtract 5x and add 8 to both sides
7x (-5x) - 8 (+8) = 5x (-5x) - 2 (+8)
7x - 5x = -2 + 8
Simplify.
(7x - 5x) = (-2 + 8)
2x = 6
Isolate the x. Divide 2 from both sides
(2x)/2 = (6)/2
x = 6/2
x = 3
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Plug in 3 for x in one of the equations.
y = 7x - 8
y = 7(3) - 8
Simplify. Remember to follow PEMDAS.
y = 7(3) - 8
y = 21 - 8
y = 13
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
x = 3, y = 13 is your answer

Since the question is asking how fast he is driving, we need to find his speed in miles per hour. To do this, you need to divide the amount of miles he drove by the amount of hours it took. When you do 412.5/7.5, you get the answer of 55 miles per hour.
Answer:
I'm sorry I don't know ♀️
1st number: 0
2nd number: 17
Answer
Step-by-step explanation:
3x+2y=34 x is the first number, y is the second.
1/2x+2y=34 multiply each number by two to get rid of the integer by the variable x.
x+4y=68 solve for x.
x=68-4y add this into the first equation to solve for variable y.
3(68-4y)+2y=34 solve for y.
204-10y=34
-10y= -170
y=17
now to solve for x
x= 68-4(17)
x= 0
