Part A:
As we can see on this table, Darla run 3 miles the first week. Then she began running 1.5 miles each week (4.5 - 3 = 1.5; 6 - 4.5 = 1.5; etc...). Let x be the number of weeks. But since the first week is different from the others, we need to remove 1 from x.
The equation is: 1.5(x-1) + 3

Part B:
To know how much she can run in 14 weeks, we replace x by 14 in the previous equation.
1.5x + 3 = 1.5 * 14-1 + 3 = 1.5*13 + 3 = 22.5

So no, she can't run 26.2 miles in 14 weeks.

A wire is (7x – 3) meters long. A length of (3x – 4) meters is cut for use(a) How much wire is left?
ipn [44]

Answer:

The amount of wire left is 4x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Initially, the wire is (7x - 3) meters long.

A length of (3x - 4) meters is cut.

How much wire is left?

Initial amount subtracted by the amount that is cut. So

(7x - 3) - (3x - 4) = 7x - 3 - 3x + 4

We combine the like terms

7x - 3x - 3 + 4 = 4x + 1

The amount of wire left is 4x + 1
