MAKING AN ARGUMENT You and a friend are going hiking but start at different locations. You start at the trailhead and walk 5 miles per hour. Your friend starts 3 miles from the trailhead and walks 3 miles per hour.

your friend

a. Using y to represent the distance each person walks and x to represent the number of hours walked, write a system of linear equations that represents this

situation.

-- You

--- Your friend

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

You:

Trailhead implies the beginning so:

Your Friend

Required

Represent as an equation

From the question, we understand that:

So, the relationship between

In terms , we have:

For you, the equation becomes:

For your friend, the equation becomes:

here you hope this .

step-by-step explanation:

hypotenuse = √(15² + 8²)

=  √(225 +64)

=  √(289) = 17

sin(x) = cos(y) = 8/17

they are identical so long as you are doing the sine of one angle and the cosine of the only other angle that isn't the right angle.
