172/387 = 4/t
Let t = time to travel 387 miles
172t = 4(387)
172t = 1548
t = 1548/172
t = 9
Answer: 9 hours

Distance between origin (0, 0) and point (x, y) is given as:
Answer:
6 Chickens
Step-by-step explanation:
Let H represent the number of horses and C represent the number of chickens. Since there are 32 legs altogether this means that on equation to use would be given by:
2C + 4 H = 32 (Eq. 1)
Another equation can be made from the fact that there are 11 heads or 11 animals altogether which can be written as:
C + H = 11 (Eq. 2)
From Eq. 2, solve for the number of chickens:
C + H = 11
C = 11 - H (Eq. 3)
Substituting Eq. 3 in Eq. 1, the number of horses can be determined:
2 C + 4 H = 32
2 ( 11 − H ) + 4 H = 32
22 − 2 H + 4 H = 32
2H = 32 − 22
2 H = 10
H = 5 Eq.4
Putting Eq.4 in Eq.1
2C + 4*5 = 32
2C = 32 - 20
2C = 12
C = 12/2
C = 6
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Product of 5 and a number: 5n
Six more than that would be 5n + 6
Finally, "six more than the product of 5 and a number, decreased by one" would be
5n + 6 - 1, or 5n + 5
The answer would be 15 but i am not sure what the problem says her answer is. if it is not 15 then her answer is wrong
