If you meant to write this;Nisha and Marcie Drive 20 miles from their sisters to hoodoo to go skiing. The speed limit is 55 miles per hour. It snowed all night, and the safe speed to drive is 40 miles per hour. Explain how you can determine how many more minutes it takes to drive 20 miles at 40 miles per hour in a 55 miles per hour zone.
If you drive 20 miles at 40 mile per hour, then 20 miles divided by 40 miles equals .5.5 times 60 minutes (one hour) is 30 minutesIf you drive 20 miles at 55 mile per hour, then 20 miles divided by 55 miles equals .3636.3636 time 60 minutes (one hour) is 21.8 minutes30 minutes at 40 mph minus 21.8 minutes at 55 mph is 8.2 minutes faster
f(x) = 6-5x
y = 6-5x .... replace f(x) with y
x = 6-5y .... swap x and y; solve for y
x+5y = 6
5y = 6-x
y = (6-x)/5
... replace y with the inverse function notation

Answer: Choice D.</h3>
Answer:
4080 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
34 yards of ribbon are used to prepare 8 teddy bears. The yards of ribbon used to prepare 320 teddy bears are:
320 teddy bear × (34 yard/8 teddy bear) = 1360 yard
1 yard is equal to 3 feet. The feet corresponding to 1360 yards is:
1360 yard × (3 feet/1 yard) = 4080 feet
Answer:
2w+2(2w-7)
Step-by-step explanation:
the first 2w is the length of the two widths, and the (2w-7) is the length of the length, and we multiply by two because there are two sides.
Answer:
£160,000
Step-by-step explanation:
Alice bought the house in 2008 for £x.
In 2014, the house sold for a 20% profit, so it sold for 1.2x. (* see explanation below)
In 2019, the house sold for a 5% loss, so it sold for 0.95(1.2x). (* see explanation below)
In 2019, it sold for £182,400.
0.95(1.2x) = 182,400
1.14x = 182,400
x = 182,400/1.14
x = 160,000
Answer: £160,000
* Explanation of 1.2 and 0.95.
A quick way to apply a percent increase or decrease to a number is to using the following method. The number you start with is 100% of the number. If you are adding a percent to it, then add the percent to 100% and convert it to a decimal. If you are subtracting the percent, then subtract the percent from 100% and convert to a decimal. Then multiply the decimal by the original number to find the increased or decreased number.
Example of percent increase:
A book used to cost £10. The price went up by 12%. What is the new price?
100% + 12% = 112% = 1.12
1.12 * £10 = £11.20
Example of percent decrease:
A pair of trousers costs £60. It is on sale at 35% off the regular price. What is the sale price?
100% - 35% = 65% = 0.65
0.65 * £60 = £39
