X=17-4y
y=x-2
answer by substitution

(5,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

x=17-4y

x=17-4x+8

x=25-4x

5x=25

x=5

y=x-2

y=5-2

y=3

(5,3)

he has now walked a total of what?

if i know what this is maybe i can

step-by-step explanation:

b. y = 4x - 2

step-by-step explanation:

to find a parallel equation to an equation, make sure both equations have the same slope but different y-intercepts.

y = 4x + 1

4 = slope

1 = y-intercept

y = 4x - 2

4 = slope

-2 = y-intercept

they both have the same slope but different y-intercepts, so, b. is the correct answer.

and to check your work, you can graph both equations. : )
