They would be riding in the train for 8 hours and in the car for 5 hours.
They spent 560 miles on the train
They spent 200 miles in the car
C) !!!
In ratios, 'things go with the same things', so recliners have to be both in the numerator or denominator. The 8 is misleading. That's the total, and the problem is all about recliners and couches only
y= -5/32x+5 is the answer
-5+-12 is -17
For lack of a better metaphor, it's like digging a pit deeper than it already is.
Answer:
The graph of a linear equation is a straight line. The "solution" to a system of two linear equations is the point where the two lines cross. If the two lines are parallel, they never cross; hence parallel lines have no solution. Two lines are parallel if they have the same slope (the m value in y = mx+b). One of your equations is y = -2x + (you left the y-intercept out). The slope is -2. So any line with a slope of m = -2 will be parallel to this line and will not cross it. The second line also needs a different value of b, the y-intercept. Otherwise it is the same line and every point is a solution. So if your equation is:
y = -2x + 1
Then any equation of the form y = -2x + b, b≠1 will create a system with no solution. Hence the values of m and b are m = -2, b ≠ 1.
