Answer is 6 miles per day
Answer is equation 48 = (x)(5) + 18

Step by step

You can use y intercept equation
y = mx + b

y = 48 total miles
m = rate of miles unknown
x = 5 days
b = starting point of 18 miles already ridden

48 = (x) (5) + 18

48 = 5x + 18

Subtract 18 from both sides to isolate the variable

48 - 18 = 5x + 18 - 18

30 = 5x

Now divide both sides by 5 to solve for x

30/5 = 5/5 x

X = 6 miles per day

Check your work, substitute 6 for x in your equation

48 = (6) (5) + 18
48 = 30 + 18
48 = 48

Problem solved!!

mylen [45]
This can be solved by similar triangles, which means you can cross multiply and divide. 78/195=x/10. 78(10)=780 and divide 780 by 195, you'll get the answer is 4. This means Sarah is 4 ft tall.

The amount of water in a bottle is reduced by 15% to 119 milliliters. How much water was originally in the bottle? ________ ml
lakkis [162]
Answer: 140 ml

Explanation:

let x be the original amount of water

x - 15% = 119
But x = 100% because it’s the original
=> 100% - 15% = 119ml
85% = 119ml

Find the amount of water in 15%:
85% = 119
15% = y

=> 85/15 = 119/y

Cross multiply:
85y = 15 x 119
85y = 1785
y = 1785/85
y = 21

But y = 15% therefore, 15% = 21ml

Back to our equation:
x - 15% = 119ml
x - 21ml = 119ml
x = (119 + 21)ml
x = 140ml

Therefore, the original amount of water is 140ml
