The answer you chose is correct. You should make sure that you check both of your intercepts before coming to a conclusion and determining your answer.

A parking lot is 20 feet long. One tortoise starts at the edge of the parking lot and moves at a rate of 6 feet per minute. Anot

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of parking lot = 20 feets

Speed of tortoise which starts at the edge = 6 feets per minute

Speed of tortoise which starts 4 feets from the edge = 2 feets per minute

Equation to represent when they will be in the same spot.

Distance = speed * time

Distance of Tortoise at edge = 6ft/min * t = 6t - - (1)

Distance of the other tortoise = (4 + 2t) - - - (2)

Equating both (1) and (2)

6t = 4 + 2t

6t - 2t = 4

4t = 4

t = 4/4

t = 1

Hence, they'll be at the same spot after 1 minute.

In a school election, Juan received 4 times as many votes as Wayne, Neal recurved twenty less votes than Juan, and Kerry got hal

77julia77 [94]

Votes received by Wayne is 112

Solution:

To find: votes received by Wayne

Let the vote received by Wayne be "x"

Juan received 4 times as many votes as Wayne

Therefore,

Juan votes = 4 times as many votes as Wayne

Juan votes = 4x ---- eqn 1

Neal received twenty less votes than Juan

Neal votes = twenty less votes than Juan

Neal votes = Juan votes - 20

Neal votes = 4x - 20 ---- eqn 2

Kerry got half as many votes as Neal

Kerry votes = half of neal votes

Kerry votes = $\frac{4x - 20}{2}$ ---- eqn 3

The total votes cast in the election was 1,202

Wayne votes + Juan votes + Neal votes + Kerry votes = 1202

Plug in eqn 1 , eqn 2, eqn 3

$x + 4x + 4x - 20 + \frac{(4x - 20)}{2} = 1202\\\\2x + 8x + 8x - 40 + 4x - 20 = 1202 \times 2\\\\22x - 60 = 2404\\\\22x = 2404 + 60\\\\22x = 2464\\\\x = 112$
