They would meet after 4 hours, as 65 x 4 = 260. And 60 x 4 = 240. If you add these, they become a value of 500. This also answers the 2nd question ; 65x + 60x = 500.
slope-point form:
we need the slope (m) and a point.
y-y₀=m(x-x₀)
Given two point A(x₁,y₂) and B(x₂,y₂), the slope of the line is :
m=(y₂-y₁) /(x₂-x₁)
Example 3:
we can take two points:
A(12,2)
B(13,7)
m=(7-2) / (13-12)=5/1=5
therefore:
y-2=5(x-12)
y-2=5x-60
y=5x-60+2
y=5x-58
answer: y=5x-58
Example 4:
we can take two points.
A(0,0)
B(3,1)
m=(1-0)/(3-0)=1/3
Therefore:
y-0=1/3(x-0)
y=x/3
answer: y=x/3
Remember that "of" means to multiply.
(1/12) of 180 coins are dimes. The number of dimes will be
(1/12)*180 = 180/12 = 15
Answer: The boxer lose 1.8 kg in the final week to get able to compete as a flyweight.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
Quantity of weight a boxer needs to lose in a month is given by

In 3 months, he lowers his weight from 55.5 kg to 53.8 kg.
So, Quantity of weight he lose in three months is given by

Number of kilograms the boxer lose in the final week to be able to compete as a flyweight is given by

Hence, the boxer lose 1.8 kg in the final week to get able to compete as a flyweight.
