Answer:

Ali's heart rate is 135 beats per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ---->  Ali's heart rate

y ----> Ben's  heart rate

we know that

\frac{x}{y}=\frac{15}{17}

isolate the variable x

x=\frac{15}{17}y ----> equation A

we have

y=x+18 ---> equation B

Solve the system by substitution

substitute equation B in equation A

x=\frac{15}{17}(x+18)

Solve for x

x-\frac{15}{17}x=\frac{15}{17}(18)

\frac{2}{17}x=\frac{270}{17}

simplify

2x=270\\x=135\ beats\ per\ minute

therefore

Ali's heart rate is 135 beats per minute

What is1/12+7/9. I need help.
Katarina [22]
You have to make them have their least common denominator to add or subtract, in this case 36.
Multiply 1/12 by 3, to get the denominator 36: 3/36.
Multiply 7/9 by 4, to get the denominator 36: 28/36.
Now add the numerators: 3+28=31, 31/36 is as simplified as possible so your answer is 31/36 :) I hope this helps :)
