Answer:

  1 hour

Step-by-step explanation:

I find these easiest to work by considering the initial difference in distance and the speed at with that gap is closing.

__

The gap is 15 miles, the distance the first ship is from harbor when the second ship starts.

The rate of closure is the difference in the speeds of the two ships:

  60 mph -45 mph = 15 mph

Then the closure time is ...

  time = distance/speed

  time = (15 mi)/(15 mi/h) = 1 h

It will take the second ship 1 hour to catch up to the first ship.

The system of equations shown below is graphed on a coordinate grid:
salantis [7]

3y+x=4

2y-x=6

Solve x+3y=4 for x

Add -3y to both sides

x+3y-3y=4-3y

x=-3y+4

Substitute -3y+4 for x in -x+2y=6

-x+2y=6

-(-3y+4)+2y=6

Simplify both sides of the equation

5y-4=6

Add 4 to both sides

5y-4+4=6+4

5y=10

Divide both sides by 5

5y/5=10/5

y=2

Substitute 2 for y in x=-3y+4

x=-3y+4

x=(-3)(2)+4

x= -6+4

x= -2

Answer : x=-2 and y=2

The answer is A

 it is (-2,2) and lies on both lines


I hope that's help  !
