B = block     p = park

2b + p = 10 min                2 runs around the block takes 10 minutes
2b + 3p = 22 min        2 runs around the block plus 3 runs around the park                                                       takes 22 minutes

To solve, I will use substitution. First, I will divide the first equation by 2 to get b by itself and subtract p from both sides to get b by itself. Then, substitute 5 - 1/2p in for b in the second equation because they have equal values. Then, subtract 10 from both sides to eliminate it. Divide by 2 to both sides to get 'p' by itself.

2b + p = 10 min ---------→b + 1/2p = 5 ----------→ b = 5 - 1/2p

2(5 - 1/2p) + 3p = 22 ---------→ 10 -p + 3p = 22 --------→ 10 + 2p = 22

10 + 3p = 22 ----------→ 2p = 12

2p = 12 -------------→ p = 6

It takes 6 minutes to jog around the park

Hope this helps!

A teacher passes cards out to students. She has 52 cards. She gives one card to each student at a time to each student until all
Zarrin [17]
The problem presents 2 variables and 2 conditions to follow to determine the approach in solving the problem. The variables are 52 cards, and 9 cards. The 2 conditions presented would be the teacher giving out one card to each student at a time to each student until all of them are gone. The second variable is more likely made as a clue and the important variable that gives away the approach to be used. The approach to be used is division. This is to ensure that there will be students receiving the 9 cards. Thus, we do it as this: 52 / 9 = ?

The answer would be 5.77778 (wherein 7 after the decimal point is infinite and 8 would just be the rounded of number). This would ensure us that there will be 5 students that can receive 9 cards but there will be 7 cards remaining which goes to the last student, which is supposed to be 8 since she gives one card to each student at a time to each student. So the correct answer would be just 4 students. The fifth student will only receive 8 cards and the last student would have 8, too.

A line has a slope of 8 and a y-intercept of 0 what is its equation in slope intercept form
Deffense [45]
Slope-intercept form is y = mx + b.
In this form, m is slope and b is y-intercept.
Slope is rise over run. The formula for this is (y2-y1)/(x2-x1).
Y-intercept is the value of y when x is equal to 0.

1. Slope = 8 ; Y-intercept = 0
y = mx + b
m = 8 ; b = 0
y = 8x + 0
y = 8x

2. Slope = 1 ; Y-intercept = 2
y = mx + b
m = 1 ; b = 2
y = 1x + 2
y = x + 2

The answer to #1 is y = 8x.
The answer to #2 is y = x + 2.

Hope this helps!

What are these two equations in slope intercept form?
Shtirlitz [24]
1. 4x - y = 8
4x = y + 8
Y = 4x - 8

2. 2x + 3y = 4
3y = -2x + 4
Y = -2/3x + 4/3
