Answer:

  12 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

The relationship between jogging speed and walking speed means the time it takes to walk 4 miles is the same as the time it takes to jog 8 miles. Then the total travel time (0.75 h) is the time it would take to jog 1+8 = 9 miles. The jogging speed is ...

  (9 mi)(.75 h) = 12 mi/h . . . average jogging speed

__

<em>Check</em>

1 mile will take (1 mi)/(12 mi/h) = 1/12 h to jog.

4 miles will take (4 mi)/(6 mi/h) = 4/6 = 8/12 h to walk.

The total travel time is (1/12 +8/12) h = 9/12 h = 3/4 h. (answer checks OK)

_____

<em>Comment on the problem</em>

Olympic race-walking speed is on the order of 7.7 mi/h, so John's walking speed of 6 mi/h should be considered quite a bit faster than normal. The fastest marathon ever run is on the order of a bit more than 12 mi/h, so John's jogging speed is also quite a bit faster than normal. No wonder he got tired.

Actually Welcome to the concept of Parallel lines.

We must first understand that, Parallel Lines always have a same Slope, hence the 'm' value in y=mx+c equation will same, here it is '1/2' in the above equation,

so the points here are (-6,-17)

==>

(y-(-17)) = m(x-(-6))

==>

here m = 1/2 ,hence

y+17 = 1/2(x+6)

==> y+17 = 1/2(x) + 3

==> y = 1/2(x) + 3 - 17

==> y = 1/2(x) - 14

hence the Option 4.) is the correct answer!!

Use the distributive property and combine like terms to simplify: u(v−10)
siniylev [52]

Answer:

uv - 10u

Step-by-step explanation:

To distribute a problem, you have to multiply what is on the outside of the parenthesis with what is on the inside.

u · v = uv

u · -10 = -10u

Combined, u(v - 10) = uv - 10u.
