Speed is expressed as the ratio of distance/time = d/t
in Alex's case, speed = (3.8 miles / 18 minutes)
. . . or simply
3.8/18
Slimination
multiply first equaiton by 2
2x+6y=10
add to second equiaotn
2x-2x+6y-6y=10-10
0=0
this is true so therfor they are the same equaiton
so solve
x+3y=5
3y=-x+5
y=-1/3x+5/3
subsituter values for x and get valuse for y
if x=2 then y=1
Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation:
Let "a number" = x
44 = 8x - 4
Simplify. Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.
First add 4 to both sides:
44 (+4) = 8x - 4 (+4)
44 + 4 = 8x
48 = 8x
Isolate the variable, x. Divide 8 from both sides:
(48)/8 = (8x)/8
x = 48/8
x = 6
6 is your answer.

Answer:
25.5 seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the stopwatch records times to the nearest thousandth of a second, it means that the time recorded will be given at 3 decimal places.
To get the time in the nearest tenth of a second, we would first convert to the nearest hundredth of a second, at this, the reading of 25.453 seconds will be
= 25.45 seconds
Since the number at the hundredth position is 5 (or more), we would add 1 to the number at the tenth position to round it to the nearest tenth. Hence the reading to the nearest tenth
= 25.5 seconds
