3 1/2 miles = 7/2 miles
1/2 hours= 30 minutes
So,
In 30 mins, travelled 7/2 miles
In 1 min, travelled 7/2 ÷ 30= 7/2× 1/30 = (7×1)/(2×30) = 7/60 miles
In 60 mins, travelled (7×60)/60 miles = 420/60 miles = 7 miles.
Hence, the speed is 7 miles per hour.

Answer:

Doug's average speed is 7 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Average speed is defined as ratio of total distance to the total time taken to cover the total distance.

Distance covered by Doug ,D=3\frac{1}{2} miles=\frac{7}{2} miles

Time taken to cover the distance D = T= \frac{1}{2} hour

Average speed :

=\frac{D}{T}=\frac{\frac{7}{2} miles}{\frac{1}{2} hour}=7 miles/hour

Doug's average speed is 7 miles per hour.

Solve for x. 3(3x - 1) + 2(3 - x) = 0
olga nikolaevna [1]
The equation given in the question is
3(3x - 1) + 2(3 - x) = 0
9x - 3 + 6 - 3x = 0
6x + 3 = 0
6x = - 3
x = - (3/6)
   = - (1/2)
So the value of x as has been determined above is -1/2. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand.<span>You can always use this method for solving problems that are similar in type without requiring any help from outside. </span>

Y is six more than x divided by three <br><br> turn it into an expression (y=mx+b format)
Snowcat [4.5K]

We always start from right side in order of operation in any equation

we can set up equation as

step-1:

x divided by three

we can write as

=\frac{x}{3}

step-2:

six more than x divided by three

so, we get

=\frac{x}{3}+6

step-3:

y is six more than x divided by three

so, we get

y=\frac{x}{3}+6

and this is in y=mx+b form

so, we have

y=\frac{x}{3}+6...............Answer

Explain why it is important to solve for the variable first in order to find the measure any angle mentioned in the problem . Ye
valkas [14]
In the field of astronomy, the ability to measure angles accurately and precisely enables us to calculate the position and relative movement of the stars and galaxies in relation to each other, to determine how far distant they are from us, and even to estimate their relative size.

Im honestly so confused about this PLEASE help me just give me the right answers plz plz
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1. is 0.125x – 3.375

2.  0.6x – 5

3. 0.89x-5

Just use a slope calculator and desmos to see if your answer is right. Also a rounding calculator if the answer for one is too long, example: the third one said 0.88888888888889 for the first number so i rounded that to 0.89 to make sure it doesnt look like a computer did it
