8.6 = -5
13.6 = 0
Your equation seems to be lacking another value for x, but based on what you've provided, this is accurate.
The correct choice is option D. The given equations are:...[1]...[2] Multiply equation [1] by 5 on both sides; we have...[3]. By using the elimination method, we can add equations [2] and [3] to eliminate y and determine x, resulting in... Dividing both sides by 13 yields x = 3. Substituting x back into equation [1] results in 2(3) - y = -4, which simplifies to 6 - y = -4. After subtracting 6 from both sides, we find -y = -10. Dividing through by -1 gives y = 10. Hence, the solution is (3, 10). Consequently, a valid equation that can replace 3x + 5y = 59 in the original set while still yielding the same result is 13x = 39.
In this scenario, the first step is to assign variables.
We define:
x: time measured in minutes
y: distance covered.
The equations formulated are as follows:
For Kathleen:

For Arnob:

At the moment Arnob meets Kathleen, we have:

Next, we isolate x.
We now have:


Answer:
Arnob takes a total of 75 minutes to catch up to Kathleen:
d. 75
2G=B+3
G=B-4
2(B-4)=B+3
2B-8=B+3
B=11
