I need help... You live in Pennsylvania and your grandparents live in Ohio.When you are in Pennsylvania,you drive an average rate of 55 mph.When you are in Ohio,you drive an average rate of 65 mph.The entire trip of 295 miles takes 5 hours.How long does it take to reach the Pennsylvania-Ohio border?How long does it take to get from the border to your grandparents house?

According to a local survey performed in January,55% of the people polled said they would reelect the town's mayor.However,the mayor's percentage of votes decreased 2% each month.The survey revealed that 30% of the people polled would vote for the challenger.The challenger's percentage of votes increased 3% each month.In what month will the percentage of people willing to vote for the challenger equal that of the mayor?What percentage will vote for the challenger in that month?

The flat rate plus the rate per mile that 2 shipping companies charge to make an 800-pound delivery are listed in the matrix below.
(dollars) Flat Rate Rate/mile
Company A [100 0.30
Company B [200 0.10

Find a linear system that describes the cost of shipping with each company. How far must a delivery go for both companies to charge the same amount?Which company is more economical if the delivery is closer than the distance found in the previous question?Which company is more economical if the delivery is sent further that the distance found in not the previous question but the question before that?

If you can please tell me how you found the answer and how you solved them please, write back ASAP!
