Answer: x(.25)+(4+x(.25))=y
Step-by-step explanation:
1. set up the equation-
Ali has an unknown amount of quarters so make that x.
We know quarters are 25 cents so .25 if he has one quarter you put that one quarter into x, 2 into x and so on
Tom has 4 more, since he has 4 more it is 4+x and one again times .25
2. that is it
77/8= 9.625 and 31/4= 7.75...so 9.625-7.75= 1.875
We know that
3600 seconds = 1 hour
Then
3400 seconds = 3400/3600
= 17/18 hours
5280 feet = 1 mile
Then
63360 feet = 63360/5280 mile
= 12 mile
So
Distance covered by Nina in 17/18 hours = 12 mile
Then
Distance covered by Nina in 1 hour = 12/(17/18) miles
= 12.71 miles.
From the above deduction, we can conclude that the speed of Nina is 12.71 miles per hour.
Speed of Sophia is 10 miles per hour. So Nina is the girl that rides at a faster speed.
2x + 3y = 1,470
To solve using the slope intercept method, we need to solve for y.
First, subtract 2x from each side.
3y = -2x +1470
The, we need to divide both sides of the equation by by 3 to solve for y
y = -2/3 x + 490.
We know the y intercept is 470, which means on the y axis we place at point at positive 490. The slope is -2/3. We go down 2 units and over to the right 3 units and place a point. We draw a line connecting these two points extending only to the right until it reaches the x axis. We cannot have negative x because we cannot sell negative lunch specials. We cannot have negative y, because y is the number of specials sold.
