Jane was running for 2 hours and 25 minutes and reached her journey at 2:05pm. Calculate the time she started.

11:40 am

Step-by-step explanation:

First, I started by subtracting 5 minutes from the additional 25 minutes of running that couldn’t fit into another hour. That would bring the running time to 2 hours and 20 minutes and the end time to 2:00 pm. Take away another 2 hours and you would be left with 20 minutes, with a start time of 12:00 pm. Get rid of the last 20 minutes and you get the start time as 11:40 am.

Check:

11:40 + 2 hours = 1:40 pm

1:40 + 20 minutes = 2:00 pm

2:00 + 5 minutes = 2:05

This is correct

x = -3

y = -18

step-by-step explanation:

to solve by substitution, substitute one variable and solve for the other. then substitute again to find the remaining variable.

x-1/3(3x-9) = -3 since y=3x-9 substittute y.

x-1/3(3x-9)=-3

x + x +3 = -3

2x+3=-3

2x+3-3= -3-3

2x=-6

x=-3

substitute again into y=3x-9

y=3(-3)-9

y=-9-9

y=-18

answer: 7
