Answer:

27 SUVs

Step-by-step explanation:

Let number of ordinary cars be x and SUVs be y

We can write 2 equations and use substitution to solve for the number of SUVs.

<u>"The number of ordinary cars is larger than the number of sport utility vehicles by 59.3%"- </u>

This means that 1.593 times more is ordinary cars (x) than SUVs (y), so we can write:

x  = 1.593y

<u>"The difference between the number of cars and the number of SUVs is 16" - </u>

Since we know ordinary cars are "more", we can say x - y = 16

<em>We can now plug in 1.593 y into x of the 2nd equation and solve for y:</em>

<em>x - y = 16</em>

<em>1.593y - y = 16</em>

<em>0.593y = 16</em>

<em>y = 27 (rounded)</em>

<em />

<em>Hence, there are 27 SUVs</em>

Please help, i can't figure this out and im ready to pull my hair out!!!
Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

I'm sorry I don't know the equation, but she walks 3 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the answer is asking for speed, which needs both distance and time, so we also need both. Which is where the 9 mph is used. 9 mph means its a difference. b means biking mph, w means walking mph, sooo ----->>> b=w+9, and the difference in the 1st equation is 36, which means the first equation is 4 times larger than the b=w+9, so she walked 48 miles, as well as walked 12 miles in 4 hours. Divide then distances by 4, and you get 12 miles and 3 miles in one hour. Or 12 mph & 3 mph, which fits into 12=3+9. So she walks 3 miles per hour.
