The equations y=55x+50 and y=65x represents Rick's and Betty's trip.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Head start of Rick = 50 miles

Speed of Rick = 55 mph

Let,

x be the number of hours

y be the total miles

Distance covered by Rick in x hours = Speed * Time + Head start

y = 55x + 50

Speed of Betty = 65 mph

Total miles = Speed*Time

y=65x

The equations y=55x+50 and y=65x represents Rick's and Betty's trip.

kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

Commutative Property

Step-by-step explanation:

The property of multiplication that is being demonstrated is known as Commutative Property. This property basically shows that when multiplying two numbers the actual order in which they are multiplied does not matter and does not affect the result at all. For example, the in this scenario to get the total number of oranges we have to multiply the number of bags by the number of oranges in each bag, but whatever way we do this they equal the same

2 bags * 3 oranges per bag = 6 oranges

3 bags * 2 oranges per bag = 6 oranges

Therefore,

2 * 3 = 3 * 2

If each sandwich costs 3 times the amount of a bag of chips and the sandwich is 6 dollars, the chips are 2 dollars. Casey bought 5 sandwiches and spent $30 dollars on sandwiches. Since the total was $42 dollars you have $12 dollars left to get your total of $42. 2x6 = 12 so therefore Casey bought 6 bags of chips.
