She will likely finish the graduation sessions in less time.
To solve the problem, what you must do is a system of two equations with two Ingonites that describe the problem.
Let:
x = number of shirt buttons.
y = number of buttons on jackets.
Writing the system:
36x + 42y = 842
6x + 7y = 137
We observe that the system is linearly dependent, therefore, it can not be solved.
However, the solution is to solve the system of two equations with two unknowns.
In order to solve it, the system must be linearly independent.
A) 2 units
B) yes
For A) |5-3|=|2|=2 is the distance from his house to school.
For B)
The distance from his house to school is 2 units; the distance from school to the grocery store is |3--9|=|12|=12. The total distance is 2+12 = 14.
The distance from his house to school is 2 units; the distance from school to the community center is |-4-6|=|-10|=10. The total distance is 2+10 = 12.
The distance from the house to the school to the grocery store is greater.
