The two equations are:
y = 5*x + 3
y = 5.5*x + 2
Step-by-step explanation:
By definition:
speed = distance/time
it can be rewritten as:
time = distance/speed
During the first half of the race Ben ran at a rate of 5 miles per hour for x hours and walked 3 miles. Let's call y, the number of miles in half the race; then he ran y-3 miles. The time he spend was:
x = (y-3)/5
Analogously, for the second half:
x = (y-2)/5.5
These two equations can be rewritten as
y = 5*x + 3
y = 5.5*x + 2
Which means that:
5*x + 3 = 5.5*x + 2
3-2 = 5.5*x -5*x
1 = 0.5*x
x = 2 hours
When you are solving for the variables in a situation represented by two equations you can isolate the same variable in both equations and equate the two terms, getting a new equation with only one variable. Another option is to isolate one variable in one equation and replace it in the other one.
