Answer: Destiny's speed is 11 mph.

Alicia's speed is 15 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Destiny and Alicia both leave the coffee shop at the same time, but in opposite directions. If they are 78 miles apart after 3 hours, it means that the total distance that they covered in 3hours is 78 miles

Let x represent the speed at which Destiny travelled. If Alicia travels 4 mph faster than Destiny, it means that the speed at which Alicia travelled is (x + 4) mph

Distance = speed × time

Distance covered by Destiny in 3 hours is

3 × x = 3x

Distance covered by Alicia in 3 hours is

3(x + 4) = 3x + 12

Since the total distance is 78 miles, then

3x + 3x + 12 = 78

6x = 78 - 12 = 66

x = 66/6 = 11 mph

Alicia's speed is

11 + 4 = 15 mph

The table shows the gallons of water in a pool over time.
Valentin [98]

Answer:

6 gallons per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the function that models the quantities of water, Q (in gallons) in a pool over time, t (in minutes), is  

Q = a + bt ........... (1)

Now, Q(t = 0) is given to be 50 gallons.

So, a = 50 and b denotes the rate at which the quantity of water in the pool is decreasing and it is given by the slope of equation (1).

Now, two points on the graph are (0,50) and (1,44).

So, the slope = b =  = - 6 gallons per minute.

Therefore, the equation of this situation is given by Q = 50 - 6t, where the slope is equal to - 6 gallons per minute. (Answer)
