Answer:
16.364 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Speed of Claire = 6 miles per hour
Speed of Megan= 5 miles per hour
Distance from camp site to out post = 18 miles
Time for Claire to travel=18/6= 3 hours
Time for Megan to travel = 18/5 = 3.6 hours
The time they meet will be equal
Claire distance= 18 + x
Megan distance = 18-x
Claire time =( 18+x)/6
Megan Tim =( 18-x)/5
(18+x)/6 =(18-x)/5
5(18+x)= 6(18-x)
90 +5x = 108-6x
11x=18
X=18/11
X=1.636 Miles
So the distance from the Outpost to where they meet = 18-1.636
= 16.364 miles
Answer: 6:18
All of the other options are equal to 1:3
.58. Absolute value gets rid of negative.
Answer: y = 7- 5x
Step-by Step Explanation: The variable x is multiplied by a larger value here; it's multiplied by 5. So I should expect that my y-values will grow fairly quickly. This means that I should expect a fairly "tall" graph.
First I'll do the T-chart.
T-chart
This equation is an example of a situation in which you will probably want to be particular about the x-values you pick. Because the x is multiplied by a relatively large value, the y-values grow quickly. For instance, you probably wouldn't want to use x = 10 or x = –7 as inputs. You could pick larger x-values if you wished, but your graph would very quickly get awfully tall.
I can see, from my T-chart, that my y-values are getting pretty big on either end (that is, in the positive numbers above the horizontal axis, and in the negative numbers below). I don't want to waste time computing points that will only serve to make my graph ridiculously large, so I'll quit with what I've got so far. But I'm glad I plotted more than just two points, because lines that start edging close to vertical can easily go wrong, if I'm not neat in my work.
Here's my graph:
y = 7 - 5x
783 per hour is the real deal answer
