Maria ran 17 miles at an average speed of 5 miles per hour.

1 answer:

8 0

I think this is what it's asking for...

a) 17 is the total amount ran
5 is the number of miles
x is the hours (which is unknown)
you have to find x. the problem says that there are 5 miles per hour so your x would go with your 5. the 17 stays on the opposite side of the =
17=5x

b) to find the amount of time (x) just solve for x
17=5x is your equation
you now have to isolate the x (do this by dividing 5 on both sides of the equation)
5/x= x alone
17/5=3.4
3.4=x
* remember that x is hours in this problem, so round if you need too

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To check this answer, you could obviously graph the points, but without graphing, you can tell the line would be straight because each x value is multiplied by the same number to get the corresponding y value.

3 x 5 = 15, 4 x 5 = 20, etc. This shows linear growth. If each x value were multiplied by twice itself (3 x 6, 4 x 8, and so on), you wouldn't have a straight line because the number that x is multiplied by changes depending on the value of x.
