The correct numbers to use in solving problems about spans of time like B.C. and A.D. should be “integers”.

Integers are whole numbers (not a fractional number or not a decimal number) which can take a value of negative, zero, or positive number. Example of integers would be -1, 0 and 1.

<span>In calculations, the time period would be on the x-axis. Since B.C. and A.D. are two different spans of time, therefore in the calculations, the date of BC should be negative (negative x-axis) while the date of AD should be positive (positive x-axis). This would place the origin as the common reference.</span>

Ralph and Waldo start in towns that are 70 miles apart and travel in opposite directions for 4 hours.

Lina20 [59]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Waldo's speed = W

Let Ralph's speed = W + 15

Waldo's distance = speed * Time

Time = 4 hours.

Speed = w

distance = 4 * w

Ralph's speed is W + 15. It's not clear if you need a number. We'll get around to that later.

Ralph traveled 4*(W + 15)

4w + 70 + 4(W + 15) = d

You really can't get a definite answer to these questions. Even if you knew whether they were heading away from each other or towards each other it wouldn't help.

How many gallons of pure alcohol should be added to 40 gallons of a 20% solution so

Rudik [331]

Answer:

8/3

Step-by-step explanation:

i put equations as this:

x+40 = y

where x is galllons of pure mixture and y is the gallons of the new mixture

the other equation i id was:

x+0.2(40) = 0.25y

x+8 = 0.25y

y = 4x+32

solve using substitution

(x+40) = 4x+32

x = 4x-8

-3x = -8

x = 8/3
