Either:
y-8=2(x+3)
y-8=2x+6
-2x+y=14
or
y-8=2(x+3)
y=2x+14
From the beginning we know we are dealing with two different rates. Distance is equal to (Speed X Time). We have two different speeds though. We will call the min speed = x and the max speed = y. With those two ideas in place we can make two equations for both Tony and Rae.
Tony:
2x+3.5y=355
Rae:
2x+3y=320
Now you can solve the equations by subtracting Rae's equation from Tony's
.5y=35 solve for y and you get 70
Now plug that y value back into either equation and you can solve for x. I'll use Rae's distance:
2x+3(70)=320
x=55
Answer:
The length of the flag is 730 ft and the width is 310 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>The correct question is</em></u>
The perimeter of the flag is 2080 ft what is the flags width and length <u>if</u> the length is 420 ft greater than the width
Let
L ----> the length of the flag
W ---> the width of the flag
we know that
The perimeter of the flag (rectangle) is equal to
we have
so
----> equation A
---> equation B
Solve the system by substitution
substitute equation B in equation A
solve for W
<em>Find the value of L</em>
---->
therefore
The length of the flag is 730 ft and the width is 310 ft
A. -1 Because you would divide 3x and -6 by 2.
<u><em>Answer:</em></u>44 pounds = 20 kg
<u><em>Explanation:</em></u><u>We are given that:</u>
1 kg = 2.2 pounds
To convert 44 pounds into kg, all we have to do is <u>cross multiplication</u> as follows:
1 kg .................> 2.2 pounds
?? kg .................> 44 pounds
<u>Now, we solve as follows:</u>
4 kg =
pounds
Hope this helps :)
