Answer:

14 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

let x= Xavier’s age

let y= Madeline’s age

Use linear function:

x+y=28

x=1/2y + 4

x+y=28

x-1/2y=4

Multiply 2nd equation by 2

x+y=28

2x-y=8

Add

3x=36

x=12

12+2=14

y=16

Robert traveled 80 miles per hour. What equation shows the relationship between distance traveled (d), speed (s), and time taken

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

$80 = \frac{d}{t}$
d=80t
$t = \frac{d}{80}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The relationship between distance traveled (d), speed (s), and time taken (t) can be represented the following expressions:

$s = \frac{d}{t}$
d = st
$t = \frac{d}{s}$

Using any of these expressions you can show the relationship. Substitute s = 80 for the speed.

$80 = \frac{d}{t}$
d=80t
$t = \frac{d}{80}$
