Answer: 6 hours

Step-by-step explanation: If you write an equation for this scenario it would be y = 12+3x. 12 is the starting value and x represents how many hours the bike is rented, therefore 3 dollars would be added to the initial 12 each hour. So if Lucy spent $30 then it would change to 30= 12+3x. Now you essentially just need to work backwards. Rearrange the equation and move 12 to the left of the equal sign to make 30-12=3x. Combine vairable to make 18=3x. Divide 3x by 3 to isolate x and divide 18 by 3 as well to make it even. This looks like 18/3=3x/3. Meaning it would end up as 6=x.

alina1380 [7]

Answer:

speed of motorcycle = 40 mph

speed of car = 50 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is the complete question

A car and a motorcycle leave at noon from the same location, heading in the same direction. The average speed of the car is 30 mph slower than twice the speed of the motorcycle. In two hours, the car is 20 miles ahead of the motorcycle. Find the speed of both the car and the motorcycle, in miles per hour.

Speed = distance / time

This question would be solved using simultaneous equation

let m =  average speed of the motorcycle

c = average speed of the car

c = 2m - 30  equation 1

20 =(c - m) x 2 equation 2

insert equation 1 into equation 2 and divide through by 2

10 = (2m - 30) - m

solve for m

m = 40 mph

substitute for m in equation 1

2(40) - 20 = 50 mph

Kaylis [27]

Answer:

40th and 80th visit

the first visit where you receive both is the 40th

Step-by-step explanation:

personally, I believe that the simplest way to solve this is use an excel spreadsheet to see which visits would include both a free beverage and a free appetizer:

  • both rewards would happen only twice, at the 40th and 80th visit.

you can also calculate it mathematically since multiples of 8 and 10 do not repeat themselves very much, only when 8 is multiplied by 5 and 10.

An amount of 41,000 is borrowed for 15 years at 8.5% interest, compounded annually. If the loan is paid in full at the end of th
bazaltina [42]

Answer: $139390 must be paid back.

Step-by-step explanation:

We would apply the formula for determining compound interest which is expressed as

A = P(1 + r/n)^nt

Where

A = amount to be played back at the end of t years

r represents the interest rate.

n represents the periodic interval at which it was compounded.

P represents the principal or initial amount borrowed.

From the information given,

P = 41000

r = 8.5% = 8.5/100 = 0.085

n = 1 because it was compounded once in a year.

t = 15 years

Therefore,

A = 41000(1 + 0.085/1)^1 × 15

A = 41000(1 + 0.085)^15

A = 41000(1.085)^15

A = $139390
