Answer:
Yumiko should multiply the other equation by 3.
If she adds the two equations she would be left with the variable 'x'.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the two equations are as follows:
It is given that she multiplies the first equation by 6. Therefore, (1) becomes
Now, note that the sign of the variable 'y' is negative. So, if we make the co-effecient of 'y' equal in both the cases, add them it would result in the elimination of the variable 'y'.
The co-effecient of y in Equation (2) is 6. To make it 18 like it is in Equation (1), we multiply throughout by 3.
Therefore, Equation (2) becomes:
Now, we add Equation (a) and Equation (b).
Factor: 3
Equation: 27x = 126
Square root of 8 = 2.82842712475

Sum = 9.89949494
If you would like to round, you can go ahead and round 9.89949494 to 9.9
We know that time is distance over velocity, that is:
time = distance / velocity
t = d / v
Now from the given:
d / 460 + d / 500 = 4.8
Now we can find for d:
d = 4.8 / [1/460 + 1/500]
d = 1150 miles
So the time of each flight is:
flight = 1150 / 460 = 2.5 hours
<span>return flight = 1150 / 500 = 2.3 hours</span>
