EMERGENCY!!! (WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST)
Yochana walked from home to the bus stop at an average speed of 5 mph. He immediately got on his school bus and traveld at an average speed of 60 mph until he got to school. The total distance from his home to school is 35 miles, and the entire trip took 1.5 hours. The following system of equations represents this: 5x + 60y = 35 and x + y = 1.5
Yochanan walked how many miles?

Respuesta :

He walked 5 miles.

[tex]5x+60y=35[/tex]
[tex]x+y=1.5[/tex]

Solutions (via elimination or substitution) are:
[tex]x=1[/tex]
[tex]y=.5[/tex]

x is the number of hours he spent walking, and 5x is the number of miles he walked. [tex]5x=5(1)=5[/tex] . He walked for 5 miles. 

y is the number of hours he spent on the bus, and 60y is the number of miles he rode on the bus.  [tex]60y=60(.5)=30[/tex] . He rode the bus for 30 miles.
