HELP PLZZZ

Step-by-step explanation:

When solving a system of equations, one of the faster methods to solve this system is the process of elimination. This process involves manipulating one of the equations (by multiplying it by a certain value), such that when one adds the two equations in the system, one of the variables cancels. One can then solve for the other variable in the system. Then backsolve for the other variable; by substituting the value of the found variable into the system, simplifying and using inverse operations to solve for the other variable.

Manipulate, multiply one of the equations by a certain value such that the coefficient of the like term in the other equation is the additive inverse of it.

Simplify,

Add the equations in the system,

- "runner b is moving at a slower rate."

- "the graphs shown are graphs of distance(km) against time(min).

the slopes of this graphs are are given by:

slope = (change in y)/(change in x)

= (change in distance)/(change in time)

this is the formula for finding the speed. so, the slope of these graphs represent the speed of the runner.

taking each division in the graph to represent 1 on both axis:

runner a ⇒ speed = (2-0)/(1-0)

= 2/1

= 2 km/min

runner b ⇒ speed = (3-0)/(3-0)

= 3/3

= 1 km/min

this shows that   runner b is moving at a slower rate."

n=9

step-by-step explanation:

7 times a number = 7n

decreased by 13 = 7n-13

same as is =

5 times the number = 5n

increased by 5 = 5n+5

7n-13 = 5n+5

2n=18

n=9
