Answer:
7.1857143
Step-by-step explanation:
The first choice.
The equation of this first line is -2, and since there is an open circle, it is not equal to -3.
The equation of the second line is -x-2, and there is a closed circle, so it includes -3
The two friends will be 150 miles apart, when the sum of the distances covered by the them is 150 miles.
distance = speed x time.
Let the time covered when they are 150 miles apart be x, then:
40x + 35x = 150
75x = 150
x = 150/75 = 2.
Therefore, the two friends will be 150 miles apart in 2 hours.
