Ali and jake went on a cross country trip they took a train part of the way and took a bus the rest of the way they traveled a total of 1450 riding on the train 150 more kilometers than on the bus
let x=kilometers traveled by bus
let y = kilometers traveled by train
question how many kilometers did they travel by train?

y=800 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the distance traveled by train be y and by bus be x.

Bus -x

Train -y

y=x+150 (since they traveled by train for a distance of 150 km more than by bus.)

The sum of the two is equal to 1450

x+y=1450

The two equations form simultaneous  equations which when solved simultaneously give the values of x and y.

y+x=1450

y-x=150

Adding the two we get:

2y=1600

Divide both sides by two:

y=800 km

Y is the distance traveled by train= 800 km

to plot points   for x just start at the origin (middle) and go to the left however many times it say(if the number is a positive) if the number is a negative then go right however many times it says if it is 0 go nowhere

now keep you pencil there and go up however many times it says on y(if it is positive) if it is negative then go down however many times it says. if it says 0 go nowhere.

you have just plotted a point! now when you finish plotting all of them connect them with a ruler

plot each point as (-3, 7), (0,4), (3,1), (8,-4)   in the parenthesis on the left of the comma is x and the right is y.
