Answer:

The sidewalk moves at 0.5 ft/sec

Josie's speed walking on a non-moving ground is 3.5ft/sec

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the speed of the side walk and y represent her walking speed

It takes Jason's 8-year-old daughter Josie 44 sec to travel 176 ft walking with the sidewalk

Distance = speed × time

176 = (x+y)×44

44x+44y = 176

x+y = 4 .......1

It takes her 7 sec to walk 21 ft against the moving sidewalk in the opposite direction).

21 = (y-x)7

7y - 7x = 21

y - x = 3 ......2

Add equation 1 to 2

2y = 7

y = 3.5 ft/sec

From equation 1

x + y = 4

x = 4 - 3.5 = 0.5

x = 0.5 ft/sec

The sidewalk moves at 0.5 ft/sec

Josie's speed walking on a non-moving ground is 3.5ft/sec

Answer: Josie's speed walking on a non-moving ground is 3.5 ft/sec

The side walk moves at 0.5 Ft/sec

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent Josie's speed walking on a non-moving ground.

Let y represent the speed of the sidewalk.

It takes Jason's 8-year-old daughter Josie 44 sec to travel 176 ft walking with the sidewalk. It means that the total speed at which she moved is

(x + y) ft/sec

Distance = speed × time

Therefore,

176 = 44(x + y)

Dividing both sides by 44, it becomes

4 = x + y- - - - - - - - - - - - - -1

It takes her 7 sec to walk 21 ft against the moving sidewalk in the opposite direction). It means that the total speed at which she moved is (x - y) ft/sec

Therefore,

21 = 7(x - y)

Dividing both sides by 7, it becomes

3 = x - y- - - - - - - - - - - - - -2

Adding equation 1 and 2, it becomes

7 = 2x

x = 7/2 = 3.5 ft/sec

Substituting x = 3.5 into equation 2, it becomes

3 = 3.5 - y

y = 3.5 - 3 = 0.5 ft/sec

Natasha_Volkova [10]
Let x be the number of 5 points question.
Let y be the number of 2 points question.

Total number of questions is 38
x + y = 38 

Total points is 100
5x + 2y = 100

x + y = 38 ------------- (1)
5x + 2y = 100 ---------(2)

From (1):
x + y = 38
x = 38 - y -------------- sub into (2)
5(38 - y) + 2y = 100
190 - 5y + 2y = 100
3y = 90
y = 30 ------------------ sub into (1)
x + 30 = 38
x = 38 - 30
x = 8
