Answer: the number of yards rushed by one player is 310 while the number of yards rushed by the second player 1240

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of yards rushed by one player.

Let y represent the number of yards rushed by the second(faster) player.

Last season 2 running backs on the Steelers football team rushed for a combined total of 1550 yards. This means that

x + y = 1550 - - - - - -- - -- - - - - - 1

One rushed 4 times as many as the other. This means that

y = 4x

Substituting y = 4x into equation 1, it becomes

x + 4x = 1550

5x = 1550

x = 1550/5

x = 310

y = 4x = 4 × 310

y = 1240

BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

10,600

Step-by-step explanation:

The bacteria grew in 2 hours by 800. Divide that and that it by 400 per hour.

Since it is a proportional rate, we can assume that the rate continue through till midnight.

Since midnight is 12 hours after noon then the bacteria grow 400 (12)=4800.

We add this to the population at noon 5800+4800=10,600.

Ms. Watts is a famous motivational speaker. She travels across the country by jet and gives an average of ten presentations a we
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

5 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that the auditorium holds an average of 1000 people each.

And that she charges $40 each.

Thus;

Total income for each speech is;

1000 × 40 = $40000

Since she gives an average of 10 presentations each week.

Total income per week = 10 × 40000 = $400,000

Now,the expenses she makes for each speech weekly is;

Renting auditorium = $15000

Motel, jet expenses, support personnel = $75000

Thus,

Total expenses per week = 15000 + 75000 = $90000

Now, total profit per week is;

P_weekly = Total income per week - Total expenses per week

P_weekly = $400000 - $90000

P_weekly = $310000

There are 52 weeks in a year, thus, profit in a year is;

P_yearly = 52 × 310000 = $16120000

Now, we want to find out how long it took her to make $1,400,000 a year.

We know that;

$16120000 was achieved in 52 weeks

Thus;$1,400,000 will be achieved in;

(1400000 × 52)/16120000 = 4.52 weeks approximately 5 weeks.

garik1379 [7]
Y= -75x +1725
y= -75(20) +1725
y = -1500 + 1725
y= 225 = range
225= -75x +1725
225 - 1725= -75x
-1500=-75x
-1500/-75 = -75x/-75
x = 20 = domain
