B = block p = park
2b + p = 10 min 2 runs around the block takes 10 minutes
2b + 3p = 22 min 2 runs around the block plus 3 runs around the park takes 22 minutes
To solve, I will use substitution. First, I will divide the first equation by 2 to get b by itself and subtract p from both sides to get b by itself. Then, substitute 5 - 1/2p in for b in the second equation because they have equal values. Then, subtract 10 from both sides to eliminate it. Divide by 2 to both sides to get 'p' by itself.
2b + p = 10 min ---------→b + 1/2p = 5 ----------→ b = 5 - 1/2p
2(5 - 1/2p) + 3p = 22 ---------→ 10 -p + 3p = 22 --------→ 10 + 2p = 22
10 + 3p = 22 ----------→ 2p = 12
2p = 12 -------------→ p = 6
It takes 6 minutes to jog around the park
Hope this helps!
<span>8 - 1/3x = 16
</span>⇒ -1/3x= 16-8
⇒ -1/3x= 8
⇒ x= -24
The final answer is -24~
Emily is 12, Samantha is 14, and Lauren is 16. Basically all you do to solve this problem is add numbers that are two apart until you find something.
Ex. 2+4+6=12 4+6+8=18 so on and so forth.
Answer:
The Second one y=1/3x
Step-by-step explanation:
Because when you substitute x by 3 ( for example) then, you get y = 1
and that's right from the graph.
