Answer:

  12 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference in distance started out being 1 mile. The difference in speeds is 5 mph, so that 1 mile will be covered in ...

  time = distance/speed = 1 mi/(5 mi/h) = (1/5) h

Sam solved the following problem:
Talja [164]

Answer:

 Sam made it -24 versus 24  (29-5=24  not -24)

(Sam failed to flip the inequality)

Step-by-step explanation:

-4x + 5 > 29

Subtract 5 from each side

-4x+5-5 > 29-5

-4x > 24      Sam made it -24 versus 24  (29-5=24  not -24)

Divide by -4  Remember to flip the inequality

-4x/-4 < 24/-4   (Sam failed to flip the inequality)

x < -6

What is the equation of the line?
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

y=2x+8

Step-by-step explanation:

All of the choices are in slope-intercept, or y=mx+b form where m is the slope and b is the y intercept. Therefore if the slope is 2, and the y intercept is 8 the equation should be y=2x+8.
