In a canoe race, team a is traveling 6 miles per hour and is 2 miles ahead of team b. team b is also traveling 6 miles per hour. the teams continue traveling at their current rates for the remainder of the race. using dd for distance (in miles) and tt for time (in hours), write a system of linear equations that represents this situation. big ideas answers

The system of linear equations is

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

d--------> distance in miles

t-------> time in hours

remember that

so

Linear equation Team A

Linear equation Team B

depends on how many days you are talking about

step-by-step explanation:

x = 17

step-by-step explanation:

1st step: isolate x.

24 - 3x = -27

-24         -24

-3x   =   -51

2nd step: divide.

-3x     =   -51

  3             3

  x       =     17

hope this
