Answer:
The bus travelled 60 miles in 1 hour.
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this problem we need to calculate the average speed at which the bus travelled. This is given by the distance travelled divided by the time that they took to get there. So we have:
average speed = distance/time
average speed = 360/6
average speed = 60 miles/h
Therefore in 1 hour they travelled 60 miles.
A could be 2 while B could be 3, so -2a+3b turns into -4+9, which equals 5.
From what I know you can't really solve a a single equation with two-variables so it's just a matter of trial and error.
Just try plugging in a small number like 2 for a just to try it and you get 8b^2=72.
Divide everything by 8 to isolate b and you get that b^2=9.
Square root everything and you'll find that b=3. This is just one possible combination, I'm sure there are many more but this is obviously the one that was intended to be found.
Now that we know that a=2 and b=3 just plug them into the equation.
-2(2)+3(3)=?
-4+9=?
5
Sorry about having to use this ^ symbol, the equation maker is not working.
