Answer:

Option D. 20 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

It has been given in the question that distance between the shore of a lake is 3 miles.

Speed of Jim is 4 mph and speed of John is 5 mph.

Let they meet after time t hours.

Therefore distance traveled by Jim in t hours = 4×t miles

and distance traveled by John in t hours = 5×t miles

Total distance they cover = 3 miles.

Now 4t + 5t = 3

9t = 3

t = 3/9 hours.

t = (3×60)/9 minutes.

t = 20 minutes.

Answer is they will meet after 20 minutes.

Solve each system by substitution.<br> 1) y = 2x + 2<br> y = -5x + 16
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

y = 6

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

rearrange the first equation in terms of x

x = (y - 2)/2

substiute x in the second equation

y = -5[(y-2)/2] +16

Now simpilify and solve for y

y = (-5y + 10)/2 +16

y = -5/2y + 5 + 16

y + 5/2y = 5 + 16

3.5y = 21

y = 6

Now substitue y in the first equation to solve for x

x = (6 - 2)/2

x = 2

PLEASE HELP ME LIKE RN THIS IS 7TH GRADE MATH BTW
natulia [17]

Answer:

for the third one 2/5 for the fourth one 3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

For the first one, I put 10/25 as a fraction and found the least common multiple, which is 5. I then simplified, and got 2/5.

For the second one, I chose 3/5 because there are 3 friends whose names end in a, and 5 friends whose names do not end in a. My theory was that I took the friends and divided them into 2 groups by most common.

hope this helps if it doesn't I will correct myself :)
