Break the mile in to 6 pieces and run 5 parts of the mile
An=a1+d(n-1)
a1=first term
d=common difference
n=which term
common difference is 5 first term is 2
an=5+2(n-1)
19th term is n=19
a19=5+2(19-1)
a19=5+2(18)
a19=5+36
a19=41
19th term is 41
Jaqleen unloads a truck in x hours and Marco takes 2x hours.
Working together (x*2x) / (x+2x) = 5 hours
2x^2 / 3x = 5 Multiplying both sides by 3x equals 2x^2 -15x = 0
x = 7.5 hours
So Jaqleen takes 7.5 hours and Marco takes 15 hours
Double-Check (7.5 * 15) / (7.5 + 15) = 112.5 / 22.5 equals
5 hours Correct!!
Answer:
The lines are parallel
Step-by-step explanation:
x - y = 2
Solving for y
-y = -x+2
y = x -2
And the other equation is
y = x+1
These are both in slope intercept form
We notice that the slopes are both 1, but the y intercepts are different
That means the lines are parallel, but have different y intercepts
This means that Juana's strategy for simplifying the equation is correct. if both sides of the equation are equal to each other, it is correct.
