Answer:

24 mph for both 60 miles and 40 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find how long it takes to get to college and from it.

Speed x time (x) = Distance (60)

30x = 60

x=2

It takes two hours to get to college

20x = 60

x = 3

It takes 3 hours to get back. It's a total of 5 hours, 2 hours at 30mph and 3 at 20. Now we need to find the average

30+30+20+20+20=120

120/5= 24

The average speed for the round trip is 24.

To do the second part, we follow the same process, but replace 60 with 40 for distance.

30x=40

x= 1.33

20x=40

x=2

We can add the total distance and divide by total time to find the average.

The total distance is 80. Time is 3.33

80/3.33=24

The average speed is still 24.

Find the equation of the line.<br> Use exact numbers.
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

y = 4x + -9

Step-by-step explanation:

The y intercept which is -9, is the point in which the graph crosses the x-axis

In order to find the slope we need to identify two clear points on the graph.

- (0, -9)

- ( 1, -5)

Now that we have our two points we need to find the distance between them.

As you can see on the attachment the distance between the two points is 4 units up and 1 unit to the right, therefore the slope is 4/1 = 4.

Final Answer: y = 4x + -9

One day, a person went to a horse racing area. Instead of counting the number of humans and horses, he counted 74 heads and 196
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

Option B.  24 horses and 50 humans

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the number of humans

y ----> the number of horses

Remember that

A human has one head and two legs

A horse has one head and four legs

so

x+y=74 ----> equation A

2x+4y=196 -----> equation B

Solve the system by graphing

The solution of the system is the intersection point both graphs

The solution is the point (50,24)

see the attached figure

therefore

The number of humans is 50 and the number of horses is 24
