1) Aiden collected 12 bags
2) Ryan collected 1/4 as many clothes as Aiden did => (1/4) * 12
Answer: option d. 1/4 * 12
First, we need to make the equation given to be in the form;
y=mx + b
where m is the slope and b is the intercept
8y - 3x = -8
Add 2x to both-side of the equation
8y = 3x - 8
Divide through the equation by 8
y = 3/8 x -1
comparing the above with y =mx + b
m = 3/8
slope of parallel equations are equal
From the options given the only equation with slope 3/8 is;
y= 3/8 x + 8
The above equation of the line is parallel to 8y - 3x = -8
He may be wrong. If he was wrong, this is the example.
0 < -10x
If we were to divide both sides by -10, even though the answer would be undefined or just end up as zero, it is just a common rule to always flip the sign whenever you divide or multiply by a negative.
Don't quote me on it, but I think I'm right.
Hope this helped!
PART 1.
Going westward:
Distance: 2400 miles
Rate (this is speed): (450-wind_speed) mph
Time: distance / speed = 2400 / (450-wind speed)
Going eastward:
Distance: 2400 miles
Rate (this is speed): (450+wind_speed) mph
Time: distance / speed = 2400 / (450+wind speed)
PART 2
Formula for speed:
speed = distance / time
Now we solve this for time:
time = distance / speed
11h = 2400 / (450+-wind_speed)
+- sign is put because in one case wind increases speed of plane and in other case it decreases speed.
PART 3
To solve for wind_speed we start by rearranging formula so that we have wind_speed on left side:
(450+-wind_speed) = 2400 / 11
(450+-wind_speed) = 218mph
To fly this distance in 11h speed of plane must be 218mph.
The only way to get this solution is if we substract wind speed:
450-wind_speed = 218
wind_speed = 450-218 = 232mph
