lya took one hour to drive from his apartment to Philips Arena and back. The return drive took 8 minutes less than the trip to t

he arena. If x represents the time it took Ilya to drive from his apartment to the arena, which equation would you use to determine how long he drove each way?

An hour is 60 minutes.

The trip to the arena + The return drive = 60 mintues.

Since the return drive is 8 minutes shorter, if you added 8 minutes it would be the same length as the trip to the arena.

The return drive + 8 minutes = The trip to the arena

Let's represent these two equations with variables.

x + r = 60
r + 8 = x

What we do now is use substitution. Since r + 8 = x, we can replace x from the first equation with r + 8.

x + r = 60
r + 8 + r = 60
2r + 8 = 60
2r = 52
r = 26

Then use r in an earlier equation to find a.

r + 8 = x
26 + 8 = x
x = 34

Answer:

2x - 8 = 60

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the return trip took 8 minutes less, the entire equation will need to be written in minutes. x - 8 represents the time it took to return to Philips Arena. The whole trip took 60 minutes and includes both directions so add x and x - 8 then set them equal to 60. 2x - 8 = 60

X+4y=30 system by substitution <br><br> X-2y=0
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

x=10, y=5

Step-by-step explanation:

For substitution, you always want to get the variable alone. The second equation (x-2y=0) will be easier to substitute into the first equation.

x-2y=0

x=2y

You can substitute 2y as x on the first equation (x+4y=30).

2y+4y=30

6y=30

y=5

Plug y=5 into any equation.

x+4(5)=30

x+20=30

x=10

Is the domain of the function represented by the data shown in the graph discrete or continuous?​
Deffense [45]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  • continuous
  • distance traveled by walking

Step-by-step explanation:

You can draw the graph without lifting your pencil, so it is "continuous."

Rows, drinks, and books are all things that are counted. That is, their number takes on discrete values.

Time, on the other hand, is continuous--able to take on any value.

The graph best models distance as a function of time.

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

let's firstly convert the mixed fractions to improper fractions and then multiply.

\bf \stackrel{mixed}{3\frac{2}{5}}\implies \cfrac{3\cdot 5+2}{5}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{17}{5}}~\hfill \stackrel{mixed}{2\frac{1}{3}}\implies \cfrac{2\cdot 3+1}{3}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{7}{3}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \cfrac{17}{5}\cdot \cfrac{7}{3}\implies \cfrac{119}{15}\implies 7\frac{14}{15}
