Answer:

1 hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, let's say that her departure trip takes t in minutes, as her return speed is 3 times her departure speed, she took t/3 for the return and we know that this 40 minutes less, so we can write.

t/3=t-40

We can multiply by 3

t = 3t -40*3 = 3t - 120

This is equivalent to

3t -120 = t

We subtract t

2t-120 = 0

2t = 120

We divide by 2

t = 120/2 = 60

So this is 60 minutes = 1 hour.

Thank you.

Which answers show y + 2x < 4x - 3, rewritten to isolate y, and it’s graph?
AnnyKZ [126]

Solving  y+2x < 4x-3 for y would lead to y < 2x-3. You subtract 2x from both sides of the original inequality to get to this result.

To graph y < 2x-3, you first graph y = 2x-3 which is a straight line that goes through (0,-3) and (1,-1). This line is a dashed or dotted line as solutions are not found on the boundary. The shaded region is below the dashed/dotted boundary line to indicate where the solution set is.

To summarize: the graph is a dashed line through (0,-3) and (1,-1) with the shading below the dashed line

The answer is between A and B. It will depend on how those graphs look as to which is the final answer.
