Nancy and Matilda will meet in 3 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Distance to cover = 60 miles

Speed of Matilda = 12 miles per hour

Speed of Nancy = 8 miles per hour

Combined speed of Nancy and Matilda = 8+12 = 20 miles per hour

Let,

x be the time taken by them

Distance = Speed * Time

60=20*x\\60=20x\\20x=60

Dividing both sides by 20

\frac{20x}{20}=\frac{60}{20}\\x=3

Nancy and Matilda will meet in 3 hours.

Use the substitution method to solve the given system of equations. Write your answer as an ordered pair, (x, y).
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

(-3, -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at the second equation, we can easily rearrange it to make x the subject.

x - 4y = 5

x = 4y + 5

Now lets put that into the second equation

2x - 2y = -2

2(4y + 5) - 2y = -2

6y + 10 = -2

6y = -12

y = -2

Now lets find x!

x = 4y + 5

x = 4(-2) + 5

x = -3

Now lets format the answer like the question says (ordered pair)

(-3, -2)

Recap: We used substitution and made an equation to work out one of the variables first, then found the second variable using the first.

A solution to the inequality 3.75 – 3x ≤ 6.
LenKa [72]

Answer:

x ≥ -0.75

Step-by-step explanation:

3.75 - 3x ≤ 6

Subtract 3.75 on both sides.

- 3x ≤ 6 - 3.75

- 3x ≤ 2.25

Divide both sides with -3.

x ≥ 2.25/-3

x ≥ -0.75

On Monday, Anya read 11 pages of a book in 1/2 hour. On Tuesday, she read 18 pages in 3/4 hour. Did Anya's reading speed increas
Lerok [7]
The way you should go about solving this really depends on how your teacher taught you...However, here's what I would recommend...
You know that 1/2 an hour is equal to 30 minutes, and 3/4 of an hour is equal to 45 minutes.
Using this you can  then solve for how many pages she read per minute by dividing the number of pages read by the number of minutes read:11 pages/ 30 minutes to give you Monday's reading speed,and18 pages/ 45 minutes to give you Tuesday's reading speed.

Next, to calculate a percentage increase you need to do the following:
1. Determine the difference between the speeds (this means you will subtract Monday's reading speed from Tuesday's reading speed.)
2. Next you take that number and divide it by Monday's reading speed.
3. Multiply that answer by 100 to get the percentage.

I'm not going to tell you the speeds, as you should try to attempt to solve it by yourself, and I'm sure you need to show your work. I will however tell you that you should find there was a 3.3% increase from Monday to Tuesday.

If you need more help, let me know!
