Answer:

You are 25

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem is a word problem that requires algebra notation, actually, we are meant to convert this word problem to mathematical expression then solve.

We proceed in a stepwise manner

let say what I have is x

1. Subtract 5 from me

  (x-5)

2. Then add 2

    (x-5)+2

3.  If you subtract 10

      (x-5)+2-10

4.  And then add 3

    (x-5)+2-10+3

5.  you get 15

   (x-5)+2-10+3=15

what am I is the question we need to answer, we do this by solving for x

x-5+2-10+3=15

x-15+5=15

x-10=15

x=15+10

x=25

Find the equation of the line using the exact numbers
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

y = -0.25x - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

You can either just read off the slope m = -0.25 and the intersection with the vertical n = -6 or you form a system of equations from points you choose on the graph. For example:

(0,-6);(4,-7)

The general equation for a line:

y = m*x + n

The two points on the graph form a system of two equations:

1. -6 = m*0 + n

2. -7 = m*4 + n

You can read off n right away fro equation 1:

n = -6

Plugging n into equation 2:

-7 = m*4 - 6 => -1 = m*4 => m = -1/4

Mike travels 13 miles per 2 hours on his bike.
LiRa [457]

Answer:

It took Markus half an hour to drive home from work.  He averaged 34 miles per hour.  How far does Markus live from his work?

Solution

We are given that it takes 1/2 an hour for the trip.  This is a time:

       t  =  1/2

We are given that he averages 34 miles per hour.  This is a rate:

       r  =  34

We are asked how few he has traveled.  This is a distance.  We use the d=rt equation:

       d  =  rt

           =  (34)(1/2)

           =  17

Markus lives 17 miles from work.

Now try one by yourself.  If you want to see the answer, put your mouse on the yellow rectangle and the answer will appear.
