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.

A tank 4/5 full needs 75 litres to fill it up.how many litres does it hold when full
Ann [662]
X - the volume of the tank

\frac{4}{5}x+75=x \\
75=x-\frac{4}{5}x \\
75=\frac{1}{5}x  \ \ \ |\times 5 \\
x=375

The tank holds 375 liters when full.

Bridget went fishing with her dad. Bridget Bridget caught the first fish of the day, another was 2 more than 3 times the weight
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

Bridget's first fish =f = 5 ounces

Bridget's dad first fish weighs 17 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:

Bridget's fishes:

f ounces

2f ounces

3f+2 ounces

1/2f ounces

3/5f ounces

Total= f +2f + (3f+2) + 1/2f +3/5f

=3f + 3f + 2 + 5f+6f/10

=6f + 2 + 11f/10

=60f+11f/10 +2

=71/10f +2

Bridget's dad fishes

3f+2

4/5f

2f+4

1/2f

Total =(3f+2) + (2f+4) + 4/5f +1/2f

=3f+2+2f+4 + 8f+5f/10

=5f + 6 + 13/10f

= 50f+13f/10 + 6

=63/10f +6

Equate the total weight

71/10f +2=63/10f +6

Collect like terms

71/10f - 63/10f =6-2

71f-63f/10 = 4

8f/10=4

Cross product

8f=40

Divide both sides by 8

f=5

Bridget's first fish =f = 5 ounces

Bridget's dad first fish = 3f +2

=3(5)+2

=15+2

=17 ounces

Bridget's dad first fish weighs 17 ounces
