For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables.
x: amount of time Miguel uses to complete the task.
y: amount of time Maria uses to complete the task.
We write the system of equations:
x + y = 60
y = (1/2) x
Solving the system we have:
x = 40 minutes
y = 20 minutes
Answer:
it take her to wash them by herself about:
y = 20 minutes
y = 0.6x - 3.2
The general form of the desired equation is
y = mx + b
where
m = slope of the line
b = y intercept of the line
If two lines are parallel, their slopes will be the same, Since the slope of the
given line "y = 0.6x +3" is 0.6, that will also be the slope of the desired line.
So our equation becomes:
y = 0.6x + b
Now we can substitute the x and y value of the desired point we want the new line to pass through and find b. So
y = 0.6x + b
-5 = 0.6(-3) + b
-5 = -1.8 + b
-3.2 = b
So the desired equation is now
y = 0.6x - 3.2
Answer:
P = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
2/5(10p) - 2/5(15)= 14
20p/5 - 30/5= 14
4p - 6= 14
4p = 20
p=5
