As a practical equation, this one doesn't make much sense -- why would the profit per person have a term proportional to the number of people? Let's just go with it.



That's the answer to the first part.
35/x represents a portion of the profit that's 35/x per person, or a constant $35 per tour.
Answer:
x=2, y=-3
Step-by-step explanation:
x+3y+-7
move variable to the right and -3y from each side
x+3y-3y=-7-3y
x= -7-3y
3x -4y=18
3(-7-3y)-4y=18
solve for y, distribute
-21-9y-4y=18
collect like terms
-21-13y=18
move constant and change sign
-13y=18+21
add
-13y=39
divide by -13
y= -3
substitute
x=-7-3(-3)
solve
x=2
Answer:
x = 17.5 and y = 35
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + 10 = y + 10 ( alternate angles )
subtract 10 from both sides
2x = y ⇒ 6x = 3y → (1)
the sum of the 3 angles in the triangle = 180°
6x + y + 10 + 30 = 180 ( replace 6x by 3y )
3y + y + 40 = 180
4y + 40 = 180 ( subtract 40 from both sides )
4y = 140 ( divide both sides by 4 )
y = 35
substitute y = 35 into (1)
2x = 35 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x = 17.5
The average speed of his trip is = 12 mile/ hour
The total distance covered by the driver = 240 miles
The rate at which he traveled = 12 miles per hour
Therefore, the time he used to cover his distance
= 240/12
= 20 hrs
But average speed = distance/ time
= 240/ 20
= 12 miles/ hour
Therefore, the average speed of his trip is = 12 mile/ hour
