Answer: 700 miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
1. You know that 23% of the total distance of the flight from Albuquerque New Mexico to Austin Texas is 161 miles.
2. Then, keeping that information on mind, you can calculate the total distance of the flight (which you call ) as following:
Solve for . Then, you obtain that the result is:
9514 1404 393
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
The step shown indicates that y was eliminated from the equations. For choices A, B, D, this is done by adding the equations together (the y-coefficients are opposites). The result of doing that gives x-terms of 4x, 0x, and 0x, respectively. These x-terms do not match the one given: 2x.
For choice C, the y-term is eliminated by subtracting twice the second equation from the first. Doing that gives ...
(4x +2y) -2(x +y) = (14) -2(3)
4x +2y -2x -2y = 14 -6 . . . . eliminate parentheses
2x = 8 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms
