Two towns are 1300 miles apart. A group of hikers starts from each town and walks down the trail toward each other. They meet af
Leto [7]
240(v+2.5)=1300-240v

240v+600=1300-240v

480v=1900

v=95/24

v-2.5=v-5/2

95/24-60/24=35/24

So the faster group travels at 95/24 mph (≈3.96 mph) and the slower group travels at 35/24 mph (≈1.46mph)

check...

240(95/24)=950 miles from the origin...

1300-240(35/24)=950 miles from the origin...

The number 2017 can be expressed as the difference of the squares of two consecutive whole numbers. What is the sum of these two
SSSSS [86.1K]

Let x be the first number

X + 1 be the second number

So

(x+1)^2 – x^2 = 2017

X^2 + 2x +1 – x^2 = 2017

2x + 1 = 2017

2x = 2017 – 1

2x = 2016

X = 1008

X + 1 = 1009

Sum = 1008 + 1009 = 2017

Lydia buys 5 pounds of apples and 3 pounds of bananas for a total of $8.50. Ari buys 3 pounds of apples and 2 pounds of bananas
Anarel [89]
5x + 3y= 8.50
3x + 2y= 5.25

Lydia is the first equation. She bought 5 pounds of apples which is x and bought 3 pounds of bananas which is y. Basically, remember each banana and apple weighs a price per pound. We don't know the price so we just put an x. This is the same for the second equation
