X+y=5
x-1=y
Please help

This is a simultaneous equation

Rearrange the second to give

x - y = 1

Add the two equations

(x + y) + (x - y) = 5 + 1

2x = 6
x=3

Substitute 3 into either equation

3 - 1 = y

y = 2

Where's the rest of the

At a constant it will take one hour to travel 32 mi.at that speed it will take 1/2 hr to travel the remaining 16 mi.it will take 1+1/2 hr to travel the 48mi @ 32mph.so 1 hr = 60 min& 1/2 hr = 30 min1+1/2 hr = 90 min.there are 60s in each 90 × 60 = 3600 seconds.the real question seriously is he why are they driving so slow? ! lol.
