So we are given a system:

Substitute x = 2 we get the system:

Multiply the first equation by -5 and the second by 2 we get the system:

Adding the two equations we get :

We find the value of y by using any of the other equations like this:

Final solution:
In the slope intercept method, it is very simple to find the y intercept and the slope. The slope is always accompanied with the x so in this problem, the slope is -6 meaning it has a negative correlation (it's pointing down on the graph) the y intercept is the other number on that side of the equals sign. It is 2 and is positive.
<span>Let x=apples that Andre picks
Then x/3=apples that Maria picks
And 2x=apples that Jane picks
Soooo,
x +(x/3)+2x=840 multiply each term by 3
3x+x+6x=2520 collect like terms
10x=2520
x=252</span>
Answer:
6.65 kilometers
Step-by-step explanation:
7.38-0.73=6.65
Distance between points

and

is

Distance from H to B:
![[tex]d=\sqrt{(10-(-3))^2+(1-(-9))^2}=\sqrt{169+100}=\sqrt{269}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Btex%5Dd%3D%5Csqrt%7B%2810-%28-3%29%29%5E2%2B%281-%28-9%29%29%5E2%7D%3D%5Csqrt%7B169%2B100%7D%3D%5Csqrt%7B269%7D)
d=\sqrt{(1-(-3))^2+(10-(-9))^2}=\sqrt{16+361}=\sqrt{376}[/tex] units.
Distance from Z to B:

units.
Horse Z is closer to the barn.
(The conversion to meters is not required; the question does not ask for actual distances, so "units" is OK.)
