Answer:

<u>Tony biked 1 hour 40 minutes and run 3 hours 20 minutes.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

How long did Tony speed on his bike?

Let s to be Tony's running speed, then 8s is Tony's biking speed

Let's recall that Time = Distance/Speed

Bike time + Running time = 5 hrs

Replacing with the real values, we have:

60/8s + 15/s = 5

8s as Lowest Common Denominator

60 + 8 * 15 = 5 * 8s

60 + 120 = 40s

-40s = -180

s = -180-40

s = 4.5 ⇒ 8s = 36

Tony run at 4.5 mph and biked at 36 mph

Now, we can calculate the time, this way:

Bike time = Bike distance/Bike speed

Replacing with the real values, we have:

Bike time = 60/36

Bike time = 5/3 (Dividing by 12)

5/3 hours * 60 = 100 minutes or 1 hour 40 minutes

Running time = 5 hours - 1 hour 40 minutes = 3 hours 20 minutes

<u>Tony biked 1 hour 40 minutes and run 3 hours 20 minutes.</u>

Please help thanks :)

Question 1:

Multiply both sides of the proportion by 35.

You get.

7(x-1) = 4x+2

7x-7 = 4x+2

Now, add both sides by 7 and subtract both sides by 4x

3x = 9

Divide both sides by 3

x=3

Question 2:

Multiply both the numerator and the denominator of \frac{x+1}{x+3} by 3.

We want to multiply it by 3 so that the +1 and +3 become +3 and +9. +3 and +9 have a difference of 6, just like 15 and 21, which is what we want.

\frac{3x+3}{3x+9} = \frac{15}{21}

Set the numerator equal to the numerator and the denominator equal to the denominator.

3x+3 = 15

3x+9 = 21

If you solve both of these, you get x=4 for both.

That's your answer.

Hope this helps! :)

How to solve for X<br><br> 5( x - 3)/2 - 1 = 9
liq [111]

Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

5( x - 3)/2 - 1 = 9

5/2(x-3)-1=9

5/2x-15/2-1=9

5x-15-2=18

5x-17=18

5x=35

x=7

What is the equasion of the line that passes through (0,5) and (2,3)
Annette [7]

The equation for a line is mx + b = y where m is the slope and b is the y intercept. To find the slope, we need to use the equation m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}.


m = \frac{5 - 3}{0 - 2}


m = \frac{2}{-2}


m = -1


Therefore, m is equal to -1. Normally, we would then have to plug in m and one of the points to find b. However, because the point (0,5) is the y-intercept (the y-intercept is the point on the line where x is equal to 0), we can skip this step and go straight to forming the final equation, which is y=-1x+5.
