A = speed of one boy 
<span>a + 3 = speed of 2nd boy </span>

<span>d = speed X time ... time is 3 hrs </span>

<span>68 = 3a + 3(a + 3) </span>
<span>6a = 59 </span>
<span>a = 59/6 = 9 5/6 miles per hour </span>
<span>a + 3 = 12 5/6 miles per hou</span>

Point-slope form is y - y1 = m (x + x1)

First you need to find m [slope] by subtract y2 and y1 and divide it by the outcome of x2 - x1

13 - (-9) = 22
-2 - 9 = -11
22/-11 = -2

Plug in the first point (as instructed) into the equation.

y - (-9) = -2 (x - 9)

Simplify the beginning.

y + [9] = [-2] (x + [-9])

(The brackets are the fill in the blanks)

harina [27]

Answer:

The answer is option 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve x, you have to make x the subject, by multiplying each sides by 5, to get rid of 5 on the left side.

\frac{x}{5}  = 8

\frac{x}{5}  \times 5 = 8 \times 5

x = 40
