Answer:

Kim was biking for 2 and a half hours before she caught up Kyle.

Step-by-step explanation:

Due to Kyle is biking at a constant rate of 15mph, the equation that describes her position X_1 is:

X_1=15*t

Where t is the time in hours that Kyle has been biking.

Then, the equation that describes the position of Kim, X_2 is:

X_2=18*(t-0.5)

This equation applies for values of t that are bigger than half an hour, and it is formulate in this way because Kim starts half an hour later or 0.5 hours later than Kyle.

So, for know the time in hours in which Kyle and Kim have the same position we need to make X_1 equal to X_2 as:

X_1=X_2\\15*t = 18*(t-0.5)\\15*t = (18*t )- 9\\9 = (18*t )-(15*t)\\9= 3*t\\3 = t

So, after 3 hours, Kim caught up Kyle.

Taking into account that Kim starts half an hour later, the time that Kim was biking before she caught up Kyle is calculated as:

3 hours - 0.5 hours = 2.5 hours

Finally, Kim was biking for 2 and a half hours before she caught up Kyle.

Which method is not used to find the solution of a system of linear equations. guess and checkA. graphingB. substitutionC. matri
ra1l [238]

Answer:

guess and check

Step-by-step explanation:

Linear equation systems usually have two or more variables to find.

The values for these variables can be found by different methods, some of them are indeed graphing, substitution and with matrices.

So these are correct options that are used to solve linear systems of equations.

On the other hand, the guess and check method is not used to find the solution of these systems, since the more variables the system has the more difficult it is to guess the answer,<u> the graphic and mathematical methods are more effective and reliable.</u>

What is the unknown term.<br>in the seqpence 4.5, 5.4,____7.2<br><br>A.6.2 or B. 63​
harina [27]

Answer:

6.3

Explanation:

To get from 4.5 to 5.4, you need to add 0.9. If you add 0.9 two more times, you get 7.2. Therefore, the middle term should be 6.3. I don't know if you made a typo and forgot the decimal when writing the options cause it says "63", but I believe the answer is 6.3.
