It is already simplified because there is nothing you can divide into both 18 and 25 that would result in whole numbers.
D) 2.1+2x=7.5
All the sides added together will equal the perimeter
Answer:
Part A: Kimberly
Part B:
Becca = 22.5 miles, Kimberly = 25 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Part A:
Given that Becca runs at a constant speed of 4.5 miles per hour, use the table to find the constant speed that Kimberly runs, and compare who runs faster.
Let x = time
y = distance
k = speed = y/x
Equation for each person can be written as: y = kx
Therefore:
✔️Equation for Becca if k = 4.5
y = 4.5x
✔️Find k (speed) of Kimberly using (2, 10):
Speed (k) = y/x
k = 10/2
k = 5 miles per hour
Equation for Kimberly would be:
y = 5x
Comparing their speed, Kimberly runs faster because she covers more miles per hour than Becca does.
Part B:
For Becca, substitute x = 5 into Becca's equation, y = 4.5x
Thus:
y = 4.5*5 = 22.5 miles
For Kimberly, substitute x = 5 into Kimberly's equation, y = 5x
Thus:
y = 5*5 = 25 miles
The solution of the given system of equation is x = -3 and y = 4 respectively.
<h3>What is a system of linear equations?</h3>
A system of linear equations can be defined as a number of equations needed to solve the equations. For n number of variables n number of equations are required.
The given system of equations is as,
y = 4x + 16 (1)
y = −2x − 2 (2)
In order to solve them, substitute equation (2) into (1) as follows,
4x + 16 = −2x − 2
=> 4x + 2x = -2 - 16
=> 6x = -18
=> x = -3
Then, y = -2 × -3 - 2 = 4
Hence, the solution of the given system of equation is x = -3 and y = 4.
