Two cyclists, 96 miles apart, start riding toward each other at the same time. One cycles 3 times as fast as the other. If they

meet 4 hours later, what is the speed (in mi/h) of the faster cyclist? What is the speed of the faster cyclist?

<span>18 mph. OK. Let's call the speed of the slower cyclist X, And since the faster cyclist is 3 times faster, that speed will be 3X. So their combine closing speed will be (X + 3X) and over a period of 4 hours, they travel 96 miles. So the equation becomes: 4(X + 3X) = 96 Now solve for X 4(X + 3X) = 96 4(4X) = 96 16X = 96 X = 6 So the slower cyclist has a speed of 6 mph. And since the faster cyclist is 3 times faster, that speed is 3*6 = 18 mph.</span>

Students are using the graph to find the solution to the system y=3 and y=-2x+1. Anthony says the solution to the system is (3,-
timurjin [86]

Answer: April is correct.

Step-by-step explanation: According to the methods used in systems of equations, if we are to solve this system by setting up the equations

(3 = -2x + 1), we see that the solution is x = -1. If you substitute this x-value back into the original equation, y = -2x + 1, we get the answer y = 3 and thus, receiving the solution to the system (-1,3). Anthony is wrong because the graph includes an extra line at x = 3, throwing off his answers.

Which of the following statements best describes the value of the expression 7x + 6 when x = 5? A. The result is a fraction. B.
Ksivusya [100]

Answer: B) The result is a prime number

==================================================

Explanation:

Replace x with 5. Then use PEMDAS to simplify.

7x+6

7*5+6

35+6

41

The expression 7x+6 is equal to 41 when x = 5.

The value 41 is prime because its factors are only 1 and 41.

If solving a system of linear equations by elimination or substitution I get that 2=3, it means (check all that apply)
Basile [38]

Answer:

If I get 2=3 in solving the system, it means the following:

  • If the system of equations is 2 linear equations in 2 variables, the system has no solutions
  • If the system of equations is 3 linear equations in 3 variables, the system has no solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

The solution of linear system of equations implies that a point has to be found that holds true on all equations involved.

The system may consist of two equations involving two unknowns or may consist of three equation with three unknowns.

When a system of equation has no solution, the variables are removed in solving the equations and we get an equation or values in the form.

constant = constant

So,

If I get 2=3 in solving the system, it means the following:

  • If the system of equations is 2 linear equations in 2 variables, the system has no solutions
  • If the system of equations is 3 linear equations in 3 variables, the system has no solutions
