Alice, Bob, and Carol were riding their bikes along the same path at different speeds. Alice's speed was twice Bob's speed, and

Carols' speed was one-third that of Alice's speed. What was Carol's speed, in miles per hour, if Bob's speed was 9 miles per hour

Carol's speed is computed to be 6 miles/hour, solved using the equation (3x)/2 = 9.

We assume Carol's speed to be x miles/hours.

Carol's speed is given to be one-third of Alice's speed.

Then Alice's speed is three times Carol's speed, that is, Alice's speed = 3x miles/hour.

Alice's speed is given to be twice Bob's speed.

Then Bob's speed is half of Alice's speed, that is, Bob's speed = (3x)/2 miles/hour.

But, Bob's speed is given to be 9 miles per hour.

Therefore, we get the equation:

(3x)/2 = 9.

To find Carol's speed, we solve this equation as follows:

(3x)/2 = 9,

or, {(3x)/2}*2 = 9*2 {Multiplying both sides by 2},

or, 3x = 18 {Simplifying},

or, 3x/3 = 18/3 {Dividing both sides by 3},

or, x = 6 {Simplifying}.

Therefore, Carol's speed is computed to be 6 miles/hour, solved using the equation (3x)/2 = 9.

3m-n=km-8, solve for m
viktelen [127]

Add n on both sides:

3m = km - 8 + n

Subtract km on both sides:

3m - km = n - 8

Factor the Left-Hand Side:

m(3 - k) = n - 8

Divide both sides by (3 - k):

m = (n - 8) / (3 - k)

HELP ME PLS I NEED TO ACE THIS TEST!

The rate of change is -$45, and it represents the amount of money withdrawn each month.

We can find the rate of change by finding the change in y/change in x:

145-190/1-0 = -45/1 = -45

This would be the amount of money he withdraws from his account each month.

PLEASE HELP!! Why do we multiply equations by -1? For example, if you need to re-arrange 2x + y = 3 into the form of (y=mx+b)...
MrRa [10]

The thing is you need to get the equation equal to y so you need to add or substrate any number that is with y.but I don't think that's right.because I got this.
