There would be 60 pages in the book totally because you would set 40/x=2/3 and solve for x.

40/x=2/3

2x=120

x=60

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

Jada walked $13\ miles$

Elena walked $9\ miles$

Lin walked $15\ miles$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x----> total miles walked by Jada

y----> total miles walked by Elena

z----> total miles walked by Lin

we know that

$x+y+z=37$ -----> equation A

$x=y+4$ -----> $y=x-4$ ------> equation B

$z=x+2$ ------> equation C

Substitute equation C and equation B in equation A and solve for x

$x+(x-4)+(x+2)=37$

$3x=37+2$

$3x=39$

$x=13\ mi$

Find the value of y

$y=13-4=9\ mi$

Find the value of z

$z=13+2=15\ mi$

therefore

Jada walked $13\ miles$

Elena walked $9\ miles$

Lin walked $15\ miles$

Which statement is true of this function?

Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

A. As the value of x increases, the value of f(x) moves toward a constant

Step-by-step explanation:

An exponential function with a base less than 1 will decay to zero. Here, the exponential has -2 added to it, so the decay is toward the value -2.

An exponential function is defined for all real numbers. This one has a y-intercept of -1.
