Answer: Yes, at the 1st hour and 6th mile.

Step-by-step explanation:

If x= The number of hours and y= The number of miles, then the system of equations is \left \{ {{y=4x+2} \atop {y=6x}} \right.where Micah is the first equation and Luke is the second.

Solve by Substitution:

1) Solve y=4x+2 for y:

y=4x+2

2) Substitute 4x+2 for y in y=6x:

y=6x

4x+2=6x

3) Add -6x to both sides:

4x+2+-6x=6x+-6x

4) Simplify both sides of the equation:

-2x+2=0

5) Add -2 to both sides:

-2x+2+-2=0+-2

6) Simplify both sides of the equation:

-2x=-2

7) Divide both sides by -2:

\frac{-2x}{-2} =\frac{-2}{-2}

8) Simplify both sides of the equation:

x=1

9) Substitute 1 for x in y=4x+2:

y=4x+2

y=(4)(1)+2

10) Simplify both sides of the equation:

y=6

Therefore, They meet at the 1st hour at the 6th mile

Solve by elimination:

You can't solve the system of equations by elimination

Solve by graphing:

They cross at (1, 6), which supports my answer.

Answer:

\huge\boxed{\sf x = -100}

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given Equation:</u>

x/5 + 6 = -14

Subtract 6 to both sides

x/5 = -14 - 6

x/5 = -20

Multiply 5 to both sides

x = -20 × 5

x = -100

I think 70 because playing on a varsity, i think, means to play both sports. So I added 10 to the number of students that play basket ball, which is also equal to the number of students that like tennis.

im not sure
