From the beginning we know we are dealing with two different rates. Distance is equal to (Speed X Time). We have two different speeds though. We will call the min speed = x and the max speed = y.  With those two ideas in place we can make two equations for both Tony and Rae.
Tony:
2x+3.5y=355
Rae:
2x+3y=320
Now you can solve the equations by subtracting Rae's equation from Tony's

.5y=35 solve for y and you get 70
Now plug that y value back into either equation and you can solve for x. I'll use Rae's distance: 
2x+3(70)=320
x=55

laiz [17]

Answer:

You take turns plugging in each number for your answers. I’ll list them below.

6(0) - (0)2 = 0

6(1) - (1)2 = 4

6(2) - (2)2 = 8

6(3) - (3)2 = 12

6(4) - (4)2 = 16

6(5) - (5)2 = 20

6(6) - (6)2 = 24

The pattern I’ve noticed is every time you increase the value from the previous meaning for x, the solution increases by 4. I hope this helps and let me know if I’m right.

5/12lb of dog food in each container.

This seems like a division problem so you would take (5/4) and divide it by 3 to make 3 equal groups meaning 5/12lb would be in each container.

I hope this helps, good luck!

Two non-perpendicular, non-bisecting, intersecting line segments definition
hichkok12 [17]
Line segments are parts of line that have fixed ends. For them to be perpendicular, the angle between them should be 90°. Bisecting lines are those that cut each other into two equal parts. If the lines intersect but the conditions above are not satisfied then, the lines are non-perpendicular and non-bisecting, intersecting lines.
