I'm pretty sure you're right. I got B to be the answer alsooo. Good job.
Have a good day! :D
4x + 6
3x - 2 = x + 8
x = 5
MF = 26
Answer:
<h2>
k = 31/9</h2><h2>
b = 12</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>k - 4</u> = 3
9
k/9 = 3(9) + 4
k = 31/9
k = 31/9
<u>8 + b </u> = -5
-4
8 + b = -5 (-4)
8 + b = 20
b = 20 - 8
b = 12
Let Brian's steps have a measure of 1, and Richard's steps have a measure of k. Then after each walks 5 steps away from the other, their distance apart is
... 5 + 5k
We are told that distance is equal to 9 of Richard's steps, so is equal to 9k.
... 5 + 5k = 9k
... 5 = 4k . . . . . . . subtract 5k
... 5/4 = k . . . . . . divide by 4
Richard's steps are 5/4 the size of Brian's steps. The appropriate selection is
... b) 5/4
