Answer:
A. linear expression
Step-by-step explanation:
Just got it right on the test.
There are 16 fruits in each of the boxes found under the stairs.
<h3>What is an
equation?</h3>
An equation is an expression used to show the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.
Let x represent the number of pears, hence:
Number of fruit in first box = 12 + (1/9)x
Number of fruit in second box = number of fruit in third box = (8/9)x ÷ 2 = (4/9)x
Therefore:
12 + (1/9)x = (4/9)x
x = 36
First box = second box = third box = (4/9) * 36 = 16
There are 16 fruits in each of the boxes found under the stairs.

Given the differential equation
The solution is as follows:
Answer:
2.5 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
The relation between time, speed, and distance is ...
distance = speed × time
We can define t to be Stanley's swimming time. Then t+0.5 was his running time, and 2(t+0.5) was his biking time. His total distance covered is ...
64 = 9(t +0.5) +16(2(t +0.5)) +2.5(t)
64 = 43.5t +20.5 . . . . . . . simplify
43.5 = 43.5t . . . . . . . . . subtract 20.5
t = 1 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of t
Stanley swam for 1 hour, so the distance he covered while swimming was ...
(2.5 mi/h)(1 h) = 2.5 mi
Stanley covered 2.5 miles while swimming.
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
Stanley ran for 1.5 hours, covering 9×1.5 = 13.5 miles. He biked for 3 hours, covering 16×3 = 48 miles. His total distance was 2.5 +13.5 +48 = 64 miles, as given.
