Answer:
F. 6s > 4s +8
Step-by-step explanation:
From a reference point at the beginning of the track, Ward's car will be located 4s+8 feet down the track after s seconds. That is, it starts 8 feet down the track, and increases its distance by 4 feet every second.
From the same reference point, Heskey's car will be located 6s feet down the track after s seconds. Its distance starts from zero and is increasing at the rate of 6 feet every second.
For Heskey's distance to exceed Ward's distance you want ...
6s > 4s +8 . . . . . . matches choice F
Answer:
3:4
Step-by-step explanation:
8/6=4/3
12/9=4/3
16/12=4/3
With the given information, we can create several equations:
120 = 12x + 2y
150 = 10x + 10y
With x being the number of rose bushes, and y being the number of gardenias.
To find the values of the variables, we can use two methods: Substitution or Elimination
For this case, let us use elimination. To begin, let's be clear that we are going to be adding these equations together. Therefore, in order to get the value of one variable, we must cancel one of them out - it could be x or y, it doesn't matter which one you decide to cancel out. Let's cancel the x out:
We first need to multiply the equations by numbers that would cause the x's to cancel out - and this can be done as follows:
-10(120 = 12x + 2y)
12(150 = 10x + 10y) => Notice how one of these is negative
Multiply out:
-1200 = -120x - 20y
+ 1800 = 120x + 120y => Add these two equations together
---------------------------------
600 = 100y
Now we can solve for y:
y = 6
With this value of y known, we can then pick an equation from the beginning of the question, and plug y in to solve for x:
120 = 12x + 2y => 120 = 12x + 2(6)
Now we can solve for x:
120 = 12x + 12 => 108 = 12x
x = 9
So now we know that x = 9, and y = 6.
With rose bushes being x, we now know that the cost of 1 rose bush is $9.
With gardenias being y, we now know that the cost of 1 gardenia is $6.
I believe the points should be as follows : X, S, Y, and U.
