Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that, a mouse covered a distance of 3/24 miles over a distance of 3 hours. Each hour, the mouse traveled the same distance. Distance traveled in 1 hour can be calculated by dividing 3/24 miles by 3. So,
Matt calculations shows that the distance is 3/8 hours. While dividing 3/24 by 3, he doesn't take reciprocal of 3 as a result he get 9 on numerator and 24 on denominator. Simplified fraction of 9/24 is 3/8. But the correct answer should be 1/24 hours.
Answer:
<h2>
John has $15 and Alex has $33</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
a systems of equations can be made from the information on the problem
x+y=48
x=2y+3
since x= 2y+3 substitute 2y+3 in the firat equation to get:
(2y+3)+y=48 -> 3y+3=48 -> 3y=45 -> y=15
plug in 15 for y in the second equation to solve for x
x+15 =48 --> x=33
<u>SOLUTION:</u>
General Equation: y = mx + b
.
Substitute slope = -2 into the equation:
y = -2x + b
.
Find the y-intercept:
4 = -2(-3) + b
4 = 6 + b
b = -2
.
Substitute b = -2 into the equation:
y = -2x - 2
.
Answer: y = -2x - 2
A. Y=-0.2X+6.1.
B. It's wanting an X and Y table I guess. So week zero is 6.1. Week one is 5.9. Two is 5.7. Three is 5.5. Four is 5.3. Five is 5.1. Hope that's far enough.
