If the question unit is miles, then he has 2 miles to go, the trip total is 3 miles.

You are given
1 mile = (1/3)*(distance to school)
Multiply this equation by 3 and you have
3 mile = (distance to school)

You also know that
(distance ridden so far) +(remaining distance) = (distance to school)
Subsituting given information, this is
1 mile + (remaining distance) = 3 mile
Subtracting 1 mile from this equation gives
(remaining distance) = 2 miles

Alexander has 2 miles more to ride.

Pls help these are my teachers instructions

The mistake he did, was in calculating powers, when 12 is taken to numerator it becomes -12 and 6-12 is -6 and not 6 so power of x should be -6 i.e x^-6 and not x^6

So, the correct answer is $=\frac{27}{4x^{6}y^{8}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to simplify:

$\frac{4(3x^2y^4)^3}{(2x^3y^5)^4}$

Solving:

$\frac{4(3x^2y^4)^3}{(2x^3y^5)^4}$

Multiplying power with the terms inside the bracket.

$=\frac{4(3^3x^6y^{12})}{2^4x^{12}y^{20}}\\=\frac{4(27x^6y^{12})}{16x^{12}y^{20}}\\=\frac{108x^6y^{12}}{16x^{12}y^{20}}$

Now combining powers of same variable i.e if $\frac{x^a}{x^b}=x^{a-b}$

Solving:

$=\frac{108x^{6-12}y^{12-20}}{16}\\=\frac{108x^{-6}y^{-8}}{16}\\Divide\,\,by\,\,4:\\=\frac{27x^{-6}y^{-8}}{4}$

The exponent rule says: if $x^{-1} \,\,then\,\, \frac{1}{x}$

$=\frac{27}{4x^{6}y^{8}}$

The mistake he did, was in calculating powers, when 12 is taken to numerator it becomes -12 and 6-12 is -6 and not 6 so power of x should be -6 i.e x^-6 and not x^6

So, the correct answer is $=\frac{27}{4x^{6}y^{8}}$

You are traveling in a car at 60 miles per hour and are 400 miles away from your destination. Equation y = 400 - 60x is used to

djverab [1.8K]

Answer: slope = -60 , y - intercept = 400

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

y = 400 - 60x

comparing with the equation of the line in slope - intercept form

y = mx + c , where m is the slope and c is the y - intercept

then ;

slope = -60

y - intercept = 400

(ii) The interpretation of the slope and the intercept.

Recall that speed = distance / time , that is

distance = speed x time.

it was given that the car is travelling 60 miles per hour , and the equation is used to model the distance from destination after x hours.

And you are 400 miles away from your destinations, this means that after x hours , you have traveled 60x miles , to know how far you are to your destination , the distance covered after x hours will be subtracted from how far you are away from your destination , that is

400 - 60 x.

The means that the y in the equation represent how far you will be to your destination after x hours.
