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.

Indicate a general rule for the nth term of this sequence. -6b, -3b, 0b, 3b, 6b. . .
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

a(n) = -16b + (n - 1)(3b)

Step-by-step explanation:

First term is -6b.

Common difference is 3b; each new term is equal to the previous one, plus 3b.

Formula for this arithmetic sequence is

a(n) = -16b + (n - 1)(3b)

The chapter is 8pages long. kosta read 1/4 of the chapter aloud.then christina read three pages to the class. How many pages hav
pshichka [43]
Number of pages that the chapter has = 8
Number of pages of the chapter that Kosta read = (1/4) * 8
                                                                               = 1 * 2
                                                                               = 2
The number of pages of the chapter read by Christina = 3
Then
The total number of pages of the
chapter read by both of them = 2 + 3
                                                = 5
 So the total number of pages of the chapter that has been read by Kosta and Christina is 5. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand.

Where A is a positive integer
The y needs to be moved to the left side so subtract 3y from both sides.
2x - 3y = -8
