The distance from friend's village to Lucas's house is 45 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets assume the distance from Lucas home to friend's village is x miles

The time taken to cycle from Lucas home to friend's village is 3 hrs....t₁

The time taken if travelling at a 5 mph reduced speed is 1.5 hrs longer......t₂

t₂=4.5 hrs

t₁= 3 hrs

Speed for cycle in first instance, where t₁=3 hrs and distance is x miles

s₁=d/t = x/3 mph

Speed for cycle if travelling at a slower speed,

s=\frac{x}{3}-5

Time taken in the second instance when travelling at a slower speed

=\frac{x}{\frac{x}{3}-5 }=4.5\\ \\\frac{3x}{x-15} =4.5\\\\\\3x=4.5(x-15)\\\\3x=4.5x-67.5\\\\\\67.5=4.5x-3x\\\\\\67.5=1.5x\\\\\\67.5/1.5=x\\\\\\45=x

The distance from friend's village to Lucas's house is 45 miles

A members-only speaker series allows people to join for $28 and then pay $4 for every event attended. What is the total cost for
wariber [46]

Given:

Joining fee = $28

Fee of each event = $4

To find:

Total cost for someone to attend 4 events.

Solution:

Let the number of events be x and total fee be y.

Fee for 1 event = $4

Fee for x events = $4x

Joining fee remains constant. So, the total fee is

y=28+4x

Substitute x=4 in this equation.

y=28+4(4)

y=28+16

y=44

Therefore, total cost of 4 events is $44.
