Answer: it will take 2.5 hours for both people to meet after person B leaves.

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between the house of person A and his cousin's house is 234 miles.

At the point where they meet, they would have travelled 234 miles.

Person A travelled at an average speed of 44 miles per hour.

Let t represent the time spent by Person A in travelling from his house to the point where they meet.

Distance = speed × time

Distance covered by person A would be

44 × t = 44t

One and half hours later, person B leaves his house to visit person A, travelling at an average speed of 62 miles per hour. This means that total time spent by person B in travelling to the point where they meet is (t - 0.5) hours. Distance covered would be

62(t - 0.5) = 62t - 31

Since the total distance covered is 234 miles, then

44t + 62t - 31 = 234

106t = 234 + 31 = 265

t = 265/106 = 2.5 hours

Translate the sentence into an inequality.

5b + 29 ≤ -25 is the translation of the phrase "the sum of a number times 5 and 29 is at most -25"

<h3>How to translate an English phrase into an algebraic equation?</h3>

Given the phrase in the question;

The sum of a number times 5 and 29 is at most -25.

First, we translate;

Let the unknown number represented by b.

  • A number times 5 ⇒ b × 5 ⇒ 5b
  • Sum ⇒ 5b + 29
  • Inequality sign for at most -25 ⇒ less than or equal to ⇒ ≤ -25

Now we combine the terms;

5b + 29 ≤ -25

We can go and solve for the unknown number.

5b + 29 ≤ -25

Subtract 29 from both sides

5b + 29 - 29 ≤ -25 - 29

5b ≤ -25 - 29

5b ≤ -54

b ≤ -54/5

Therefore, the translation of the phrase is 5b + 29 ≤ -25.
