Answer:

x1 = 275 miles (shorter)

x2 = 318 miles (longer)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x1 = be the shorter route

v1 = speed of the car in the shorter route

t1 = time it took to cover shorter route

x2 = the longer route

v2 = speed of the car in the longer route

t2 = time it took to cover longer route


x1 + 43 = x2   (1)

v2 = v1 -2   (2)


v2 = x2/t2 = x2/6

v1 = x1/t1 = x1/5


This means that

v2 = v1 -2   =>

x2/6 = x1/5 -2

The system of equations results

a.   x1 -x2 = -43

b.  x1/5 - x2/6 = 2

Solving this system of equations, we find that

x1 = 275 miles

x2 = 318 miles

Answer:

D1 = 275 miles

D2 = 318 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

D=R*T

D1 = be the shorter route

R1 = speed of the car in the shorter route

T1 = time it took to cover shorter route

D2 = the longer route

R2 = speed of the car in the longer route

T2 = time it took to cover longer route

D1 + 43 = D2   (1)

R2 = R1 -2   (2)

R2 = D2/T2 = x2/6

R1 = x1/T1 = x1/5

This means that

R2 = R1 -2   =>

D2/6 = D1/5 -2

The system of equations results

a.   D1 -D2 = -43

b.  D1/5 - D2/6 = 2

Solving this system of equations, we find that

D1 = 275 miles

D2 = 318 miles

koban [17]

Answer:

$11.32

Step-by-step explanation:

Greeting Cards = $1.5 x 2 = $3

Wrapping Paper = $2.29 x 3 =  $6.87

Ribbon = $1.45 x 1 = $1.45

So now we must add the totals to figure out how much money Barbra spent in total.

$3 + $6.87 + $1.45 = $11.32

ANYONE GOOD IN MATH TRANSLATIONS??​
Bumek [7]

Answer:

(x, y ) → (x + 2, y - 4 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Compare the coordinates of 2 corresponding points in the original and the image, that is

B(- 5, 4 ) → B'(- 3, 0 )

To translate from B → B'

We require a shift of 2 units right in the x direction and 4 units down in the y direction, that is

(x, y ) → (x + 2, y - 4 ) ← translation rule
