There is a straight road leading from the town of Syracuse to Atlanta 60 miles north and 12 miles east. Partway down the road, it junctions with a second road, perpendicular to the first, leading to the town of Phu Huu. If the
town of Phu Huu is located 22 miles directly north of the town of Syracuse, how far is the road junction from
Syracuse?

answer: a.

step-by-step explanation: the answer is a. because, you need to converge the fractions to find a solution.

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: solve one of the equations for one of the variables. let's solve the first equation for y:

step 2: substitute that equation into the other equation, and solve for x.

step 3: substitute x = 4 x = 4 x=4 into one of the original equations, and solve for y.

if you are looking for the unit rate then the answer would be 9 because unit rate is distance divided by time.
