Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let b

Bill's rate of travel = x

Let Julie's rate of travel = 3x

The time each travels is 2.5 hours

Together they travel a distance of 190 miles

d = r*t

Bill's distance covered is r * t = 2.5x

Julie's distance travel is 2.5 * 3x = 7.5x

The total distance = Bill + Julie

2.5x + 7.5x = 190

10x = 190

x = 190/10

x = 19

Bill's distance = 2.5 * 19 = 47.5

Julie's distance = 19 * 7.5 = 142.5

Rate = distance / time

Bill's rate = 47.5 / 2.5 = 19 miles per hour.

Julie's rate = 142.5/2.5 = 57 miles per hour

Is there an easier way?

You should notice that Bill's rate is just x which is 19 miles / hour

You can also notice that Julie is going 3 times as fast or 19*3 = 57

Create a equation and label the graph
Alona [7]

A. The linear equation is: y = 60x + 45

B. The graphed equation is shown in the attachment below.

<h3>What is a Linear Equation?</h3>

A linear equation is defined as, y = mx + b, where the initial value = b; unit rate = m; x and y are the variables.

A. In this situation given, we have:

  • Total cost = y
  • Number of months = x
  • Monthly charges = unit rate (m)= $60
  • Initial value (b) = $45

Substituting the values into y = mx + b, we would have the equation as:

y = 60x + 45

B. The graph of the equation is shown in the image attached below.

Benjamin spends $9.50 for a movie ticket at Emagine and $4.50 for each snack. Landon spends $8 for a movie ticket at AMC and $5.
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

It will take 2 snacks for Benjamin and Landon to spend the same amount

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume they bought x snacks

∵ Benjamin spends $9.50 for a movie ticket at Emagine and $4.50

  for each snack

∵ He bought x snacks

→ Multiply the number of snacks by 4.50 and add it to 9.50

∴ The amount he spent = 4.50x + 9.50

∵ Landon spends $8 for a movie ticket at AMC and $5.25 for each snack

∵ He bought x snacks

→ Multiply the number of snacks by 5.25 and add it to 8

∴ The amount he spent = 5.25x + 8

∵ They spent the same amount of money

→ Equate the right sides of their amount spent

∴ 5.25x + 8 = 4.50x + 9.50

→ Subtract 4.50x from both sides

∵ 5.25x - 4.50x + 8 = 4.50x - 4.50x + 9.50

∴ 0.75x + 8 = 9.50

→ Subtract 8 from both sides

∵ 0.75x + 8 - 8 = 9.50 - 8

∴ 0.75x = 1.50

→ Divide both sides by 0.75

∴ x = 2

∵ x represents the number of snacks they bought

∴ It will take 2 snacks for Benjamin and Landon to spend the same amount
