Answer:
168 km
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the distance Tyler drives at the slower speed, and let y represent the distance at the higher speed. Using time = distance/speed, we can write equations for the total travel time:
x/42 +y/105 = 2.5
x/28 +y/60 = 4.0 . . . . . 1.5 hours more than the usual 2.5 hours
Multiplying the first equation by 210, we have ...
5x +2y = 525
Multiplying the second equation by 420, we get ...
15x +7y = 1680
Subtracting 3 times the first of these equations from the second, we have ...
(15x +7y) -3(5x +2y) = (1680) -3(525)
y = 105
Putting this into the very first equation, we get ...
x/42 + 105/105 = 2.5
x/42 = 1.5 . . . . . . subtract 1
x = 63 . . . . . . . . .multiply by 42.
The total distance to Tyler's parents' house is ...
63 km + 105 km = 168 km
Answer:b
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The slope is 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Take 2 points on the line, lets use (0,50) and (30,60)
x1 y1 x2 y2
Use slope formula:
y2 - y1 / x2 - x1
60 - 50 / 30 - 0
10 / 30
which can be simplified to:
1/3
