Answer:

They live 285 miles apart

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total distance be x miles

Sean is driving to visit his friend in another state. In the first hour he travels 1/5 of the total distance. This means that he drove x/5 in the first hour. In the second hour he travels 34 miles. That means

Total distance driven in the first and second hour is

(x/5 + 34)miles

He still has 194 miles more to go.

Therefore,

The total distance is the sum of the distance travelled in the first and second hour + the remaining distance.

x = x/5 + 34 + 194

x = x/5 + 228

Cross multiplying

5x = x + 1140

4x = 1140

x = 1140/4 = 285 miles

Answer:

1) For each value of x, a value of y is increased by 5.

x = 0, y = 5

x = 1, y = 10

x = 2, y = 15

x = 3, y = 20

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2) For each two values of x, a value of y is increased by 10.

x = 0, y = -2

x = 2, y = 8

x = 4, y = 18

x = 6, y = 28

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3)

x = 0, y = 1

x = 1, y = $\frac{7}{5}$

x = 5, y = 3

x = 10, y = 5

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4)

x = 0, y = 2

x = 1, y = 17

x = 2, y = 32

x = 5, y = 77

Step-by-step explanation:

This is as easy as replacing x for the actual value show on the table.

1)

$y=5x+5$

When x = 0, y = ?

$y=5(0)+5\\y=0+5\\y=5$

When x = 1, y = ?

$y=5(1)+5\\y=5+5\\y=10$

When x = 2, y = ?

$y=5(2)+5\\y=10+5\\y=15$

When x = 3, y = ?

$y=5(3)+5\\y=15+5\\y=20$

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2)

$y=5x-2$

When x = 0, y = ?

$y=5(0)-2\\y=0-2\\y=-2$

When x = 2, y = ?

$y=5(2)-2\\y=10-2\\y=8$

When x = 4, y = ?

$y=5(4)-2\\y=20-2\\y=18$

When x = 6, y = ?

$y=5(6)-2\\y=30-2\\y=28$

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3)

$y=\frac{2}{5}x +1$

When x = 0, y = ?

$y=\frac{2}{5}(0) +1$

$y=0 +1\\y=1$

When x = 1, y = ?

$y=\frac{2}{5}(1) +1\\y=\frac{2}{5} +1$

$y=\frac{2}{5}+1(\frac{5}{5})\\ y=\frac{2}{5}+\frac{5}{5} \\y=\frac{7}{5}$

When x = 5, y = ?

$y=\frac{2}{5}(5) +1\\y=2+1\\y=3$

When x = 10, y = ?

$y=\frac{2}{5}(10) +1\\y=2(2) +1\\y=4+1\\y=5$

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4)

$y=15x+2$

When x = 0, y = ?

$y=15(0)+2\\y=0+2\\y=2$

When x = 1, y = ?

$y=15(1)+2\\y=15+2\\y=17$

When x = 2, y = ?

$y=15(2)+2\\y=30+2\\y=32$

When x = 5, y = ?

$y=15(5)+2\\y=75+2\\y=77$

Answer:

dependent variable: circles drawn

independent: time

the independent variable is what you control, which was the time spent. the amount of circles you were able to draw <em>depended</em> on the amount of time you had, so it was the dependent variable.

Naddika [18.5K]

In 8 years both salaries will be the same

28+3x=36+2x

since we want to see when they will be the same we set them equal to each other, first subtract 28 and what you do on one side you have to do to the other so subtract 28 from 36 aswell, then you'll get 3x=8+2x so subtract 2x from both sides to get x=8 then thats your answer
