Answer:

The system of equations that represents this situation is

\left \{ {{p+q=2} \atop {5p+4q=8}} \right.

Step-by-step explanation:

A system of linear equations is a set of equations that have more than one unknown or variable. In these equations the unknowns are related to each other.

To propose a system of equations, you must first identify the unknowns or variables of the problem. For this you must know what you want to find out about the problem. And then a variable or letter must be assigned: One of the unknowns of the problem is called "q" and the other is called "p" (for this case)

In this case then:

  • "q" is the amount of hours it took Courtney to walk from her home to the beach.
  • "p" is the amount of hours it took him to walk from the beach to the park.

You know that the entire walk took 2 hours. This means that the amount of hours it took Courtney to walk from her home to the beach plus the amount of hours it took him to walk from the beach to the park must be 2. Expressed in an equation you get: <u><em>p + q=2 Equation (A)</em></u>

Now, the  total distance Courtney walked was 8 kilometers.  But you have as data the value of the speed at which Courtney walks from her house to the beach, and the speed at which she walks from the beach to the park.

But you should keep in mind that speed is equal to the distance traveled divided by time, or what is the same, distances are equal to speed by time.

speed=\frac{distance}{time}

or

<em>distance=speed*time</em>

So, as the data you have are the aforementioned speeds, and the amounts of hours it took Courtney to walk from her house to the beach, and from here to the park, and from the beach to her house, it is possible to determine the distances of as follows, remembering the way in which the variables were defined:

From her house to the beach:

distance 1= 4 kilometers per hour* q

From the beach to the park:

distance 2= 5 kilometers per hour* p

As mentioned the total distance that Courtney traveled was 8 kilometers, this is the distance from her house to the beach plus the beach to the park was kilometers. Expressed in an equation you get:<u> </u><u><em>5p + 4q=8 Equation (B)</em></u>

Finally, <u><em>the system of equations that represents this situation is</em></u>

<em>\left \{ {{p+q=2} \atop {5p+4q=8}} \right.</em>

Answer:

The system of equations that represent this situation is

q+p=2

4q+5p=8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

q ----->  the number of hours it took Courtney to walk from her house to the beach,

p ----> the number of hours  it took her to walk from the beach to the park

we know that

q+p=2 ----> equation A (because the entire walk took 2 hours)

The speed multiplied by the time is equal to distance

so

4q+5p=8 ---> equation B (total distance Courtney walked was 8 kilometers)

A restaurant offers diet soda and regular soda.In one day they sold 64 sodas.If 28 of the sodas they sold were diet, what is the
german

Answer: The ratio of regular sodas sold to diet sodas sold is 9:7

Step-by-step explanation:

The restaurant offers diet soda and regular soda.

In one day they sold a total of 64 sodas. If 28 of the sodas they sold were diet sodas, the rest would be regular sodas. Therefore, the number of regular sodas sold will be 64 - 28 = 36 regular sodas. The ratio of regular sodas sold to diet sodas sold would be the number of regular sodas sold divided by the number of diet sodas sold. It becomes

36/28 = 18/14 = 9/7

PLEASE HHELP!!! Bring the fraction:
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

\frac{b}{7a^2c} = \frac{5abc^2}{35a^3c^3}

\frac{a}{a - 4} = \frac{-a^2 - 4a}{16 -a^2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\frac{b}{7a^2c}

Express the denominator as 35a^3c^3

To do this, we divide35a^3c^3 by the denominator

\frac{35a^3c^3}{7a^2c} = 5ac^2

So, the required fraction is:

\frac{b}{7a^2c} * \frac{5ac^2}{5ac^2}

\frac{5abc^2}{35a^3c^3}

Hence:

\frac{b}{7a^2c} = \frac{5abc^2}{35a^3c^3}

Given

\frac{a}{a - 4}

Express the denominator as 16 - a^2

Multiply the fraction a+4/a+4

So, we have:

\frac{a}{a - 4} * \frac{(a + 4)}{(a + 4)}

Apply difference of two squares to the denominator

\frac{a^2 + 4a}{a^2 - 16}

Take the additive inverse of the numerator and denominator

\frac{-(a^2 + 4a)}{-(a^2 - 16)}

\frac{-a^2 - 4a}{16 -a^2}

Hence:

\frac{a}{a - 4} = \frac{-a^2 - 4a}{16 -a^2}
