Students in Miss Moseley's fourth grade class are learning multiplication, and they demonstrate mastery by passing assessments.

Travis has passed 11 tests, and his classmate, Jenifer, has passed 2 tests. Going forward, Travis plans to pass 2 tests per week. Meanwhile, Jenifer plans to pass 5 tests per week. Eventually Jenifer will catch up to Travis. When the number of tests each student has passed are equal, how many tests will each student have passed and how many weeks will it take?

Answer:

Each will pass 17 test after 3 weeks.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information,

Let x is the number of weeks.

Travis has passed 11 tests and plans to pass 2 tests per week.

11+2x

Jenifer, has passed 2 tests and plans to pass 5 tests per week.

2+5x

Now equate them as shown.

11+2x=2+5x

11-2=5x-2x

9=3x

x=3

Hence, after 3 weeks both have passed the same number of test.

Substitute x=3 in 11+2x

11+2(3)=17

Hence, each will pass 17 test after 3 weeks.

<span><u><em>Answer:</em></u>
Each will have passed 17 tests and it will take 3 weeks.

<u><em>Explanation: </em></u>
Let x be the number of weeks.
The number of tests <u>Travis</u> passes to begin with is 11.
We then add 2 tests per week, or 2x to that, giving us:
11+2x.

The number of tests <u>Jenifer</u> has passed to begin with is 2.
We then add 5 tests per week, or 5x to that, giving us:
2+5x.

<u>Setting these equal, we have: </u>
11+2x=2+5x.

<u>Subtract 2x from each side: </u>
11+2x-2x=2+5x-2x;
11=2+3x.

<u>Subtract 2 from each side: </u>
11-2=2+3x-2;
9=3x.

<u>Divide both sides by 3:</u>
</span>\frac{9}{3} =  \frac{3x}{3}<span>;
3=x.

It will take <u>3 weeks</u>.
In 3 weeks,
Travis will have passed:
11+2*3 = 11+6 = 17 tests.
Jenifer will have passed the same number, since she catches up with him at this point.</span>

Yellow Taxi Cabs charges a $7 flat rate in addition to $2.25 per mile. Kate has $100 to spend on transportation. How many miles
enyata [817]
Kate can travel 41.33 miles without exceeding her limit. This problem can be solved by using y = 2.25x  + 7 linear equation with the "y" variable as the total cost that Kate must pay after she has traveled with the cab and the "x" variable as Kate's traveling distance. The equation has 7 for its constant value which is the $7 flat rate. We will find 41.33 miles as the traveling distance if we substituted the total cost with 100, which is the maximum amount that can be paid by Kate for the traveling purpose.

60 ≥ 35 + 5t

<u>-35 </u><u> </u><u>-35 </u>

<u>25</u> ≥ <u>5t</u>

5 5

t≤5

his mistake was that he used ≤ for at least instead of using ≥. so at end, when I solved, I saw that Sven should spend 5 minutes or less on each scale.
