Let the slower cars speed equal X.

The faster cars speed would be X+5 ( 5 mph faster).


They traveled for 3 hours

Multiply the time of travel by speed to equal the number of miles traveled.

So you have:

3X + 3(X+5) = 267 miles

Simplify the left side:

3X + 3X+15 = 267

Combine like terms:

6x + 15 = 267

Subtract 15 from each side"

6x = 252

Divide each side by 6:

x = 252 / 6

X = 42


The slower car was traveling at 42 mph and the faster car was traveling at 47 mph.

Choose where it is a function or not a function also choose what is the range and the domain
kow [346]
Not a function because of the vertical line test.
Domain is [-2,∞] since the left most point is -2 and the right is unbounded.
Range is (-∞,∞) since it is not bounded in terms of y.

Mias dog weighs 32.6 pounds. Letties dog weighs 3.8 times as much as Mias you. What does Letties dog weigh in pounds?
Whitepunk [10]
Hello!

We are given the weight of Mia's dog and told to find the weight of Lettie's dog based on the known relationship. Using these given values, we can create the following equation (let "w" represent the total weight of Lettie's dog):

w = 32.6(3.8)

Simplify the right side of the equation:

w = 123.88

We have now proven that Lettie's dog weighs 123.88 lbs.

I hope this helps!
