Alright, so we know that the race is 5 kilometers, so the equation will be 5-<some value>= <distance from finish line>. We also know that the student runs a kilometer every three minutes, so 3x=1km . Multiplying both sides by 5, we get 15y=5km (y being the number to make the equation make sense, or the slope). When the student has run 5km, the distance from the student to the finish line should be 0, so we get that 5-5=0, and plugging 15y in for 5 we get 5-15y=0. For 15x to equal 5, 3y=1 and y=1/3. Therefore, we plug that in for y, getting 5-15(1/3)=0. However, we have to make it for all times! Since 15 represents the minutes, we make that x, and since 0 represents the distance remaining, we make that the distance remaining, making it 5-(1/3)x=distance left. You can also think of y as the slope in y=mx+b - it stays constant that way.

Answer:

Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

you cancel the whole parentheses.

So you know, x+6 can't equal to 0.

that's why there is a choice that is all real numbers but not -6.

Amanda is making pastry dough. She mixes of a 1/3cup of flour and of a 1/5 cup of sugar. If she wants to mix flour and sugar in
mr_godi [17]

Flour : sugar = (1/3) : (1/5) = 5 : 3 . . . . . . . . multiply the first ratio by 15 to eliminate fractions

The total of ratio units in the last representation is 5+3=8, so for a recipe of 16 cups, each ratio unit will stand for 16/8 = 2 cups.

Multiplying the ratio by 2 cups, we find Amanda will need

... 10 cups flour : 6 cups sugar

for her recipe.
