Mathematics: MAKING AN ARGUMENT You and a friend are going hiking but start at different locations. You start at the trailhead and walk 5 miles per hour. Your friend starts 3 miles from the trailhead and walks 3 miles per hour. your friend a. Using y to represent the distance each person walks and x to represent the number of hours walked, write a system of linear equations that represents this situation.

5 3/10 because if it is in the tenth place it will be over 10 then 5 is the whole numbers. Did this help?...

y = 5x -- You

y = 3 + 3x --- Your friend

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

You:

Trailhead implies the beginning so:

$Start = 0\ mile$

Rate = 5miles/hour

Your Friend

$Start = 3\ mile$

Rate = 3miles/hour

Required

Represent as an equation

From the question, we understand that:

y = distance

$x = number\ of\ hours$

So, the relationship between $distance\ and\ time\ is:$

$Distance = Start + Rate * Number\ of\ hours$

In terms $of\ x\ and\ y$ , we have:

y = Start + Rate * x

For you, the equation becomes:

y = 0+ 5* x

y = 0+ 5x

y = 5x

For your friend, the equation becomes:

y = 3 + 3 * x

y = 3 + 3x
