Okay, Tommy runs in a positive y direction at 3mph, and his position can be expressed as:

T=3t

Then Zach starts running two hours later at 4mph and his position can be expressed as:

Z=4(t-2)=4t-8

The distance between Tommy and Zach can be expressed as the hypotenuse length of a right triangle with the distances for Tommy and Zach being the lengths of the sides...

d^2=T^2+Z^2

d^2=(3t)^2+(4t-8)^2

d^2=9t^2+16t^2-64t+64

d^2=25t^2-64t+64, and we want to know when they are 8 miles apart

25t^2-64t+64=8^2

25t^2-64t+64=64

25t^2-64t=0

25t(t-2.56)=0

So 2.56 hours after Tommy started running they will be 8 miles apart.

To be clear though, this is the time Tommy spent running, or the time that elapsed since Tommy started running.  Zach has only been running for 0.56 hours.  So if they are looking for the time Zach ran it is 0.56 not 2.56 hours.

Please help with 6 and 7
Ilya [14]

Answer:

6. The number is -5

7. The two numbers are 10 and 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Question six can be re-worded to create the following expression:

-2=\frac{4x+10}{5}

Solve for x to find the number:

-2=\frac{4x+10}{5}\\-10=4x+10\\-20=4x\\\frac{-20}{4} = x\\-5 = x

Question seven can be solved by first listing the constraints (assuming x is smaller than y):

  1. x and y are less than 20
  2. x + 1 = y
  3. 3x - 8 = 2y

To get the numbers, we can create a system of linear equations. First, solve for y in each expression:

y = x+1

2y = 3x-8\\y = \frac{3}{2}x - 4

Solve for x:

x+ 1 = \frac{3}{2}x - 4\\x + 5 = \frac{3}{2}x\\5 = \frac{3}{2}x - x\\5 = \frac{1}{2}x\\10 = x

Solve for y:

y = x + 1\\y = 10 + 1\\y= 11
