You are given a distance of 20 kilometers and time of 30 minutes. You are required to find for the speed of the travelling object. The equation for speed is distance over time. Speed is a scalar quantity. It tells you the direction of the travelling object. The solution in this problem is,  

Speed = distance/time
Speed = 20 kilometers / 30 minutes
<u>Speed = 2/3 kilometers per minute or 0.667 kilometers per minute</u>
<span>Therefore, the speed of the object is 0.667 km per minute.</span>

Write an equation to represent the number of pages Jesse has read. Using x, the number of days Amir has been reading, write an e
katrin [286]

Question:

Jesse and Amir were assigned the same book to read. Jesse started reading on Saturday, and he is reading 30 pages a day. Amir didn't start until Sunday, but he is reading 35 pages a day.

How many days will it take Amir to catch up to Jesse, and how many pages will they each have read?

Write an equation to represent the number of pages Amir has read. Use x to represent the number of days Amir has been reading and y to represent the number of pages he has read.

Answer:

It will take 6 days

Step-by-step explanation:

For Jesse:

Rate = 30\ pages/day

This implies that Jesse will cover 30y in y days

For Amir:

Rate = 35\ pages/day

This implies that Amir will cover 35x in x days

Because Amir starts a day later,

y = x + 1

So, we have the following equations:

Jesse = 30y

Amir= 35x

y = x + 1

To get the number of days when they read the same number of pages, we have:

Jesse = Amir

Substitute values for Jesse and Amir

30y = 35x

Substitute x + 1 for y

30(x+1) = 35x

Open bracket

30x+30 = 35x

Collect Like Terms

30 = 35x-30x

30 = 5x

Solve for x

\frac{30}{5} = \frac{5x}{5}

\frac{30}{5} = x

6 = x

x = 6

A company produces and sells widgets and gizmos. In January the company sold 350 items for a total of $9,000. If each widget sol
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

The company sold 100 widgets and 250 gizmos.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x_1 be the number of widgets sold and x_2 be the number of gizmos sold.

We are told that the company sold 350 items. We can represent this information in an equation as:

x_1+x_2=350...(1)

We have been given that a each widget sold for $35 and each gizmo sold for $22. The company sold 350 items for a total of $9,000.

We can represent this information in an equation as:

35x_1+22x_2=9,000...(2)

From equation (1), we will get:

x_2=350-x_1

Substitute this value in equation (2):

35x_1+22(350-x_1)=9,000

35x_1+7,700-22x_1=9,000

13x_1+7,700=9,000

13x_1+7,700-7,700=9,000-7,700

13x_1=1,300

\frac{13x_1}{13}=\frac{1,300}{13}

x_1=100

Therefore, the company sold 100 widgets.

Substitute x_1=100 in equation (1):

100+x_2=350

100-100+x_2=350-100

x_2=250

Therefore, the company sold 250 gizmos.
