A. define the variables : a = abby's miles, j = james' miles

b. a = j + 4......j = a - 4

c. a + j = 28
    a = j + 4
    
 d. (j + 4) + j = 28
      2j + 4 = 28
      2j = 28 - 4
      2j = 24
       j = 24/2
       j = 12
  
       a = j + 4
       a = 12 + 4
       a = 16

e. check..
     a + j = 28
     16 + 12 = 28
      28 = 28 (correct)

solution is : abby's miles (a) = 16
                   james' miles (j) = 12

Select the correct answer.
masya89 [10]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Either try all the numbers and see which ones work or do the following.

Times both sides by 2x-5.

3=x(2x-5)=2x^2-5x

Rearrange and solve the quadratic. I will factorise.

2x^2-5x-3=0

(2x+1)(x-3)=0

so x = -1/2 or 3

On a diagram of the arena, the car park's length is 15 cm. The scale is 1:100.
faltersainse [42]

If a diagram has a scale of 1:100, that means that the real thing is 100 times larger. To find how long the real thing is, that means that we need to multiply the length on the diagram by 100. 100 * 15 is 1500. But, that is 1,500 cm. To convert it into meters, we need to divide by 100. That's because there's 100 centimeters in every meter. 1500/100 is 15, which means that the actual length of the car park is 15 meters.

Which is the dependent variable in 4x^2-5/6x-9=y if y=f(x)
olga55 [171]

Answer:

  y

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression

  y = f(x)

tells you that y is the dependent variable, and that it depends on x, the independent variable. The <em>independent</em> variable is always the function argument. Any variable that depends on that is the <em>dependent</em> variable.
