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.

Y = 5x - 13<br><br> 4x + 3y = 18
hram777 [196]
<span>replace Y = 5x - 13
into
4x + 3y = 18

</span>

4x + 3 (5x - 13) = 18
4x + 15 - 39 = 18
4x -24 = 18
4x = 18 +24
4x = 42
x = 42/4
x = 10.5

Y = 5(10.5) - 13
=  52.5 - 13
= 39.5

answer: x = 10.5 and y = 39.5

4(2x - 1) = 3x + 6 Solve for x. Show steps with sentences supporting each step.
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

4(2x - 1) = 3x + 6

Simplify

8x - 4 = 3x + 6

Subtract 3x from both sides

8x - 3x - 4 = 3x - 3x + 6

5x - 4 = 6

Add 4 to both sides

5x - 4 + 4 = 6 + 4

5x = 10

Divide both sides by 5

5x/5 = 10/5

x = 2
