The time it takes for an object/person to cover a certain distance is calculated by dividing the distance by the speed.

a. For the first question, the equation would become,

     t = 17/v + 12/(v - 2)

b. To answer, this we simply have to substitute 5 to the v of the first equation,

    t = 17/5 + 12/(5 - 2)

    t = 7.4 hours

<em>Answer: 7.4 hours</em>

Katena32 [7]

Answer:

Number of plain cookie boxes sold = 785 boxes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Cost of a chocolate chip cookie box = $1.25

Cost of a plain cookie box = $0.75

Total number of boxes sold = 1585

Total cost of the sold boxes = $1588.75

Let, number of plain cookie boxes sold = x

Number of chocolate chip cookie boxes sold = 1585 - x

So,

Total cost = total cost of the sold plain cookie boxes + total cost of the sold chocolate chip cookie boxes

$1588.75 = x ($0.75) + (1585 - x) ($1.25)

1588.75 = 0.75 x + 1981.25 - 1.25 x

0.5 x = 392.5

Therefore,

<u>Number of plain cookie boxes sold: x = 392.5 ÷ 0.5 = 785 boxes</u>

Answer:

x=11

Step-by-step explanation:

You do 38/3x+3 and 19/x+7 and then cross mulitply and get 57x+57=38x+266. Then yoy subtract 57 from 266 and get 57x=38x+209. Now you have to subtract 38 from 57 and then answer will be 19. So now you have 19x=209. Finally you divide 209 by 19 and get x=11. Good luck!
