Answer:

5 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the runner travel at x miles an hour , then the cyclist travels at 5/ 3 * x

= 5/3 x  miles an hour.

So we have the equation

5/3 x - x = 2    ( since the cyclist was  travelling at 2  mph faster).,

2/3 x = 2

x = 3/2 * 2 = 3 mph.

So the cyclists speed was  3 * 5/3

= 5 mph.

Hailey received some cash for birthday. She spent $14.48 on a CD and donated $25.00 to charity. She put half of what was left in
DaniilM [7]
Work backwards.

After she put half of what she had left in, she had 17.76.

Multiply by 2:

17.76 * 2 = 35.52

Add 25:

35.52 + 25 = 60.52

Add 14.48:

75

So she received $75 on her birthday.

2x=6

next you would divide both sides by 2 and you get

X= 3 The ordered pair would be (3,0)
