We write the cinematic equation for each cyclist.
 We have then:
 Cyclist A:
 ra = v * t
 Cyclist B:
 
rb = - (v-10) * t
 After 4 hours we have:
 ra-rb = 4v - (-4 (v-10))
 96 = 4v - (-4 (v-10))
 Rewriting:
 96 = 4v + 4 (v-10)
 96 = 4v + 4v - 40
 96 = 8v - 40
 v = (96 + 40) / (8)
 v = 17 mph
 Cyclist A: v = 17mph
 Cyclist B: v-10 = 17-10 = 7mhp
 Answer:
 
the rate of each cyclist is:
 
Cyclist A: v = 17mph
 
Cyclist B: v-10 = 7mhp

Find the x- and y-intercepts for the linear equation –3x + 4y = 24.
Sav [38]

Answer:

x- intercept = - 8, y- intercept = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the x- intercept let y = 0 and solve for x

- 3x + 4(0) = 24

- 3x = 24 ( divide both sides by - 3 )

x = - 8 ← x- intercept

To find the y- intercept let x = 0 and solve for y

- 3(0) + 4y = 24

4y = 24 ( divide both sides by 4 )

y = 6 ← y- intercept

givi [52]

Given :

Brianna is a waitress in an upscale restaurant. On Friday she waited on 12 groups of customers who spent an average of $186 per group.

Her tips averaged 18% of the total amount spent by all the groups of customers that day.

To Find :

Brianna's tip income earnings on Friday.

Solution :

Total amount of money spent by 12 groups :

P = $ 12×186 = $2232 .

She got tip of 18% of the total amount spent by all the groups of customers.

T = P\times \dfrac{20}{100}\\\\T= 2232\times \dfrac{20}{100}\\\\T=\$446.4

Brianna's tip income earnings on Friday is $446.4 .

Hence, this is the required solution.

A large container holds 8 gallons of water. After 56 minutes the container only has 1 gallon of water left. At what rate is the
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

The rate at which water leaking is \frac{1}{8} gal/min.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A large container holds 8 gallons of water.

After 56 minutes the container only has 1 gallon of water left.

Now, to find at what rate is the water leaking.

So, water leaked from the container = 8 gallons - 1 gallon = 7 gallons.

Time taken for leakage = 56 minutes.

<em>Now, to get the rate:</em>

\frac{Gallons\ of\ water\ leaked}{Time\ taken\ for\ leakage}

=\frac{7 gallons}{56 minutes}

=\frac{1 gallon}{8 minutes}

The rate = \frac{1}{8} gal/min.

Therefore, the rate at which water is leaking is \frac{1}{8} gal/min.
