I hope this helps you




distance=speed×time



first cars time t




second cars time t+3



same distance


distance=55.t


distance=40. (t+3)



55t=40 (t+3)



55t-40t=120


15t=120


t=8


t+3=11

Need help with problems 16 and 17, please? I'll do brainiac
natali 33 [55]

Answer: 16) y=-0.5x+3 and 17) y=2x-3

Step-by-step explanation:

16: The slope-intercept form of a line is y=mx+b, where m is the slope, and b is the y-value at the y-intercept.

Since y=3 at x=0, the y-intercept is (0,3), and b=3.

Slope=\frac{y_{2} -y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1}  } where (x_{1} ,y_{1}) and (x_{2} ,y_{2}) are two points on the line. Choose (0,3) and (2,2):

Slope=\frac{2-3}{2-0}=-0.5

Plug m=-0.5 and b=3 into y=mx+b:

y=-0.5x+3

17: The slope-intercept form of a line is y=mx+b, where m is the slope, and b is the y-value at the y-intercept.

Because y=-3 at x=0, the y-intercept is (0,-3), and b=-3.

Slope=\frac{y_{2} -y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1}  } where (x_{1} ,y_{1}) and (x_{2} ,y_{2}) are two points on the line. Choose (0,-3) and (1,-1):

Slope=\frac{-3-(-1)}{0-1}=\frac{-2}{-1}=2

Plug m=2 and b=-3 into y=mx+b:

y=2x-3

Solve the system of equations. x+2y=6; 3x-14y=8 please help
ira [324]
Let x = 6 = 2y so
3(6 - 2y) + 14y = 8 so
18 - 6y + 14y = 8 so
8y = -10 and
y =  \frac{ - 10}{8} =   - \frac{5}{4}  \\  \\ since \: x = 6 - 2y \\ 6  - 2( \frac{ - 5}{4}) = x  \: so \\ x = 6 +  \frac{10}{4} =  \frac{24}{4} +  \frac{10}{4} =  \frac{34}{4} =  \frac{17}{2}

Dan pays £714.73 a year on his car insurance
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

The Current Insurance cost = $685.43

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Dan pays £714.73 a year on his car insurance.

Reduced Percentage = 4.1%

so

Reduced Amount =  4.1% × 714.73

                             = [4.1 / 100] × [714.73]

                             = 0.041 × 714.73

                             = $29.30

The current cost can be calculated by subtracting the reduced amount of 29.30 from 714.73.

so

Current Insurance cost = 714.73 - 29.30

                                       = $685.43

Therefore, the Current Insurance cost = $685.43
