<em><u>The system of equations that represents this situation are:</u></em>
q + p = 2
4q + 5p = 8
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Let q be the number of hours it took Courtney to walk from her house to the beach
Let p be the number of hours it took her to walk from the beach to the park
<em><u>The entire walk took 2 hours</u></em>
Therefore,
q + p = 2 ------- eqn 1
<em><u>The total distance Courtney walked was 8 kilometers</u></em>
Total distance = 8 km
Courtney walked from her house to the beach at a constant speed of 4 kilometers per hour
Then walked from the beach to the park at a constant speed of 5 kilometers per hour
<em><u>Distance is given as:</u></em>

<em><u>From her house to the beach:</u></em>

<em><u>From the beach to the park:</u></em>

We know that,
Total distance = 8 km
Therefore,
4q + 5p = 8 ------ eqn 2
<em><u>Thus the system of equations that represents this situation are:</u></em>
q + p = 2
4q + 5p = 8
Hi there!
The answer is A. The constant 900 represents the amount Kayla's bakery earns in a particular month when there are no online orders.
Since 900 is part of the cost that is added to the amount of money Kayla makes per online order (x), it must represent the amount Kayla's bakery makes without online orders.
Hope this helps!
