Step-by-step explanation:
1. making the equation:
shoes = x
shirts = y
175 = x + 3y
x = 4y
2. graph it (I'm using desmos)
the green line is for 175 = x + 3y and the purple one is for x = 4y
3. find the price
x = 4y
175 = 4y + 3y
175 = 7y
y = 175/7 = $25
price of the shirt = $25
x = 4y = 4*25 = $100
price of a pair of shoes = $100
Answer: Approximately 4.7 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
He rode the bicycle for some time before it broke down and he walked the remaining distance. This means that Jim covered a total of 165 miles by riding at a speed of 35 miles per hour and walking at a speed of 3 miles per hour.
Let x = the distance covered by riding the bicycle.
Let y = the distance covered by walking.
Time = distance /speed
Time he used in riding would be x/35
Time he used in walking would be y/3
Since the entire trip took 7 hours,
x/35 + y/3 = 7
3x + 35y = 735 - - - - - - - - 1
Total miles covered is 165. Therefore,
x + y = 165 - - - - - - - - -- - -2
Substituting x = 165-y into equation 1, it becomes
3(165-y) + 35y = 735
495-3y + 35y = 735
-3y + 135y = 735-495
132y = 240
y = 240/132
y = 1.81m
x = 165 - 1.81 = 163.19
Amount of time that he spent on the bicycle will be
x/35 = 163.19/35
= 4.66
Approximately 4.7 hours.
This work is faster rate than grading 36 assignments in 30 minutes because :
25 ÷ 20 = 1.25
1.25 hw assignment per minute
36 ÷ 30 = 1.2
1.2 hw assignments per minute
