Speed=distance / time; ⇒distance=speed *  time
Distance traveled by Ricardo
Distance (Ricardo)= (3 ft / s) * 15s+3 ft/s * time=45 ft+3 ft/s*t=45+3t

Distance traveled by John:
Distance(John)=(4 ft/s) * time=4t

Distance traveled by Ricardo=Distance traveled by John
3t+45=4t

Answer: D.  3t+45=4t

If x and y are integers, and 3x + 2y = 13, which of the following could be the value of y ?
lions [1.4K]
They are all integers so...
first lets substitute
A.3x=13
X=13/3
b.3x+2=13
3x=11
x=11/3
c.3x+4=13
3x=9
x=3
d.3x+6=13
3x=7
x=7/3

E.3x+8=13
3x=5
x=5/3

therefore the possible is letter c because it must be an integer and the definition of integer states that it is not a decimal nor a fraction
