A. T= d/r
A good way to remember this is by making a pyramid with 3 parts and putting distance at the top and rate and time in the other two parts. This way you can visibly see the equation and use it if you need to find one for rate.
B. It's reasonable to write distance as a positive number because distance is always positive. You are not able to have a negative distance. Imagine someone standing on a side walk. Even if they are not moving, their distance is 0 which is positive. If they move backwards or forwards, their distance is still positive because it is more than that 0 and they are gaining something.
C. Just plug in the numbers into the formula.
T= d/r
T= 32.12 m /<span>8.8 m/min
T= 3.65 min

Answer:
x = 7, y = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
solve for y for the first equation
2x + y = 20
-2x -2x , eliminate 2x
y = 20-2x
now that we have found y, substitute the y in for the second equation
-5y = -6x + 12
-5(20-2x) = -6x + 12, we just changed y into 20-2x. remember that we are multiplying all of 20 - 2x by -5
-100+10x = -6x + 12, we multiplied everything from the parathesis by -5
+100 + 100, eliminate -100
10x = -6x + 112
+6x +6x , eliminate 6x
16x = 112 , solve for x
x = 7
then y = 20 - 2x = 20 - 2*7 = 6
check:
2 * 7 + 6 = 20
20 = 20
-5 * 6 = -6 * 7 + 12
-30 = -42 + 12
-30 = -30
The equation is (X+9)+6=5
X is greater than or equal to 5
