Answer:

12t -3 = 18t

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

d = your friends distance in miles

t = time in hrs

Your equation:

d - 3 = 18t (1)

Because you are 3 miles behind your friend

Your Friend's equation:

d = 12t (2)

To find the amount of time t it takes for you to catch up with your friend,

Substitute (2) into (1)

d - 3 = 18t

12t - 3 = 18t

Equation to find the amount of time t it takes for you to catch up to your friend is 12t - 3 = 18t

Solving the equation

12t - 3 = 18t

Collect like terms

12t - 18t = 3

-6t = 3

t = 3/-6

= -0.5

t = 1/2 hour

Time can not be negative, therefore it will take 1/2 an hour to catch up with your friend

Y=5x+30

X is the days

And so by plugging in x you get

y=5(5)+30
y=25+30
y=55

And so by day 5 she's running 55 minutes

But that's what I think

Estimate the unit rate if 12 pairs of socks sell for $5.79.
11111nata11111 [884]
If 12 pairs of socks sell for $5.79, then the unit rate is 12 : 5.79. If we want to find a unit rate for one pair of socks, we need to divide 5.79 by 12:
5.79 / 12 = 0,4825
So the unit rate is 1 : 0.4825
