1 answer:
Answer:
The meet at first time at starting point after 336 seconds,
Vanu have completed 7 laps while Tanuj has completed 6 laps.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that Venu and Tanuj take 48 seconds and 56 seconds to
complete a lap respectively.
To meet them again at the startiong point, the time taken must be multiple of 56 and 48.
So, the minimum time required to meet them again at the startiong point is time taken for first time meet.
Time taken to first time meet is the smallest number which can be divided by 56 and 48, i.e the lowest common factor (LCM) of 56 and 48 which is 336 seconds or 5 minutes 36 seconds.

Answer:
C. –x + 8y = 56
Step-by-step explanation:
Write in standard form.
x − 8 y = − 56
This is a linear function in the slope - intercept form:
y = m x + b and we need a standard form:
a x + b y = c
y = 1/8 x + 7 / * 8 ( we will multiply both sides of equation by 8 )
8 y = x + 56
- x + 8 y = 56 / * ( - 1 )
x - 8 y = - 56
The equation is y = 1/8x + 7
Standard form equation is Ax + By = C, where A > = 0.
First eliminate the fractions by multiplying the equation by 8
8y = x + 56
Subtract x from each side
-x + 8y = 56
SInce x coeficient can't be negative multiply the equation by negative one.
x - 8y = -56
