I run 1 mile every 6 minutes.
My friend runs 1 mile every 7 minutes.
Lowest Common Multiple:  LCM ( 6, 7 ) = 42 minutes.
Me : 42 : 6 = 7 miles
My friend : 42 : 7 = 6 miles.

Start by finding how long it takes each to run 1 mile.

You: 0.5 mile every 3 minutes => 1 mile every 6 minutes

Your friend 2 miles every 14 minutes => 1 mile every 7 minutes

Now you have to calculate the minimum common multiple of 6 and 7.

For that you need to factor both numbers and take common and non common factors raised to their highest exponent:

6 = 3*2
7 = 7

Then the minimum common multiple is 2*3*7=42.

Now divide the time 42 by the humber of minutes each of you take to run 1 mile

you: 42 minutes / 6 minutes per mile = 7 miles
your friend 42 minutes / 7 minutes per mile = 6 miles.

You can run 7 miles and your friend 6 miles in the same time.

Answer: 7 and 6

What is the slope of the line given by the equation -3x = 30 - 5y?
zaharov [31]

Answer:

The slope of the line given by the equation -3x=30-5y is \frac{3}{5}.

Step-by-step explanation:

-3x=30-5y

Move the -3x to the right side of the equal sign and the -5y to the left.

5y=30+3x

By switching them to opposite sides, their sign changes from - to +.

Then, divide both sides by 5 in order to isolate the y.

\frac{5y}{5} = \frac{30+3x}{5}

You get:

<em>y= </em>\frac{3}{5} x +6<em />

According to y=mx+b, mx refers to the slope.

In this case, the slope would be \frac{3}{5}.
