1. Multiply the first equation by 1:
x - 2y = 17

2. Multiply the second equation by 2:
6x - 2y = 62

3. Subtract the first equation from the modified second equation:
6x - 2y - (x - 2y) = 62 - 17
5x = 45
x = 9

4. Substitute \( x = 9 \) back into the first equation:
9 - 2y = 17
-2y = 8
y = -4

Answer:
x = 9, \; y = -4

Matilde knows that, when driving her car from her office to her apartment, she spends a normal time of x minutes. In the last week, you have noticed that when driving at 50 mph (miles per hour), you arrive home 4 minutes earlier than normal, and when driving at 40 mph, you arrive home 5 minutes earlier later than normal. If the distance between your office and your apartment is y miles, calculate x + y.
