Answer:

(5, - 6 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

- 8x - 10y = 20 → (1)

- 8x - 6y = - 4 → (2)

Multiply (2) by - 1

8x + 6y = 4 → (3)

Add (1) and (3) term by term to eliminate the x- term, that is

- 4y = 24 ( divide both sides by - 4 )

y = - 6

Substitute y = - 6 into either of the 2 equations and solve for x

Substituting into (1)

- 8x - 10(- 6) = 20

- 8x + 60 = 20 ( subtract 60 from both sides )

- 8x = - 40 ( divide both sides by - 8 )

x = 5

solution is (5, - 6 )

Two friends, Lucy and Lydia, had just bought their first cars. Lydia uses 3 gallons of gas to drive 114 miles in her car. The gr
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

3.5 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Lydia:

3 gallons of gas = 114 miles

We want to know how many miles a friend can travel on one gallon of gas, so we divide both sides by 3

1 gallon of gas = 114/3 miles = 38 miles

Lucy:

One point is

10x corresponds to 415y

10 gallons = 415 miles

divide both sides by 10 to get one gallon on a side

1 gallon = 41.5 miles

Lydia:

38 miles = 1 gallon

Lucy:

41.5 miles = 1 gallon

For 1 gallon, the difference is 3.5 miles, with Lydia having 3.5 miles less than Lucy.
