If it moves from 12 to 4 o'clock then it moves (20/60) which is the fraction of an hour

(20/60) 37.68

simplify (20/60)

(1/3) 37.68

the answer would be 12.56 inches

Determine the equation of the line that goes through points (1.1) and (3.7).
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

The equation of the line that goes through points (1,1) and (3,7) is \mathbf{y=3x-2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Determine the equation of the line that goes through points (1,1) and (3,7)

We can write the equation of line in slope-intercept form y=mx+b where m is slope and b is y-intercept.

We need to find slope and y-intercept.

Finding Slope

Slope can be found using formula: Slope=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

We have x_1=1, y_1=1, x_2=3, y_2=7

Putting values and finding slope

Slope=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\Slope=\frac{7-1}{3-1}\\Slope=\frac{6}{2}\\Slope=3

We get Slope = 3

Finding y-intercept

y-intercept can be found using point (1,1) and slope m = 3

y=mx+b\\1=3(1)+b\\1=3+b\\b=1-3\\b=-2

We get y-intercept b = -2

So, equation of line having slope m=3 and y-intercept b = -2 is:

y=mx+b\\y=3x-2

The equation of the line that goes through points (1,1) and (3,7) is \mathbf{y=3x-2}

Write the sentence as an absolute value inequality, then solve the inequality: A number “n” is more than 9 units from 3
Helga [31]

Answer:

absolute vlaue inequality: |x-3| > 9; solved: x<-6 and x>12

Step-by-step explanation:

I’m going to start this off by saying I learned all this right now by just searching up how to solve an absolute inequality equation and watching one video, so this might not be an accurate explanation. (I’m pretty sure the answer’s right though)

So an absolute value inequality must be written like this:  

| x - a | *inequality* b

a is going to be the number that the inequality is centered around, in this case, 3. b will be how far you can deviate from that number, which in this case is 9.  

Now, you will have this:

|x - 3| *inequality* 9

Now, to find the inequality, you need to understand the wording. If it says “more than” as it does here, then you would have the greater-than symbol (>). If you have “less than” then you’d have the less-than symbol (<). If the problem says “at least b away” then it would be greater-than-or-equal to (≥), and likewise, if it says “at most b away” then it would be less-than-or-equal-to (≤).

So now we're at:

|x - 3| > 9

To solve the equation, you just need to subtract 9(b) from 3(a) and add 9(a) to 3(b) to get -6 and 12. Since x must be more than 9 units away, you would get:

x<-6 and x>12

Hope this is helpful!

I need this answered Fast if possible. A car is traveling on a small highway and is either going 55 miles per hour or 35 miles
Alex787 [66]

a. It spends about 2.045 hours going 55 miles per hour

b. It spends 1 hour going 35 miles per hour

c. The trip would take about 3.64 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

A car is traveling on a small highway and is either going 55 miles per hour or 35 miles  per hour, depending on the speed limits, until it reaches its destination 200 miles  away

  • x represents the amount of time in hours that the car is going 55 miles per  hour
  • y represents the amount of time in hours that the car is going 35 miles per hour
  • The equation  that describing the relationship is 55x + 35y = 200

We need to find:

a. How long does it  spend going 55 miles per hour, if the car spends 2.5 hours going 35 miles per hour on the trip

∵ 55x + 35y = 200

∵ The car spends 2.5 hours going 35 miles per hour on the trip

∵ y represents the amount of time that the car going 35 mi./h

∴ y = 2.5

- Substitute the value of y in the equation to find the value of x

∴ 55x + 35(2.5) = 200

∴ 55x + 87.5 = 200

- Subtract 87.5 from both sides

∴ 55x = 112.5

- Divide both sides by 55

∴ x = 2.045 hours

It spends about 2.045 hours going 55 miles per hour

b.how long does it  spend going 35 miles per hour, if the car spends 3 hours going 55 miles per hour on the trip

∵ 55x + 35y = 200

∵ The car spends 3 hours going 55 miles per hour on the trip

∵ x represents the amount of time that the car going 55 mi./h

∴ x = 3

- Substitute the value of y in the equation to find the value of x

∴ 55(3) + 35y = 200

∴ 165 + 35y = 200

- Subtract 165 from both sides

∴ 35y = 35

- Divide both sides by 35

∴ y = 1 hour

It spends 1 hour going 35 miles per hour

c. How long would the trip take, if the car spends no time going 35 miles per hour

∵ 55x + 35y = 200

∵ The car spends no time going 35 miles per hour

∴ y = 0

- Substitute the value of y in the equation to find the value of x

∴ 55x + 35(0) = 200

∴ 55x  = 200

- Divide both sides by 55

∴ x = 3.63 hours

The trip would take about 3.64 hours
