Take two points and find the slope.
(4,9) (6,13)
y2-y1/x2-x1
4/2=2=m
y=2x+b
9=8+1
b+1
y=2x+1
Set x to 10 to find the 10th week
y=20+1
21 miles
Set y=26.3 to find which week.
26.3=2x+1
2x=25.3
x=12.6 weeks or round to 13 weeks
I think he should round up because in more slopes in between points, there is a lesser slope than 2.
Hope this helps.

One way is to type it into your trusty TI and use the table from presing stat and then stat againg then calc then 4
so the equation that I got from your set of points is y=1.983333333333333x+0.80555555555

One kind of hard candy sells for $.89 per kilogram another sells for $1.10 per kilogram how many kilograms of each kind a need t

Furkat [3]

Answer:

20kg of $0.89 candy

10kg of $1.10 candy

Step-by-step explanation:

Candy 1 = 0.89 per kg

Candy 2 = 1.10 per kg

Total kilogram, kg = 30

Let candy 1 = x ; candy 2 = (30 - x) ;

0.89x + 1.10(30 - x) = 0.96(30)

0.89x + 33 - 1.10x = 28.8

0.89x - 1.10x = 28.8 - 33

-0.21x = - 4.2

x = 4.2 / 0.21

x = 20

20kg of $0.89 candy

(30 - x) = (30 - 20) = 10kg

10kg of $1.10 candy

Solve the following simultaneous equations : with the help of steps 1. x + 2y = 1, 3x - y = 17

IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

x = 5, y = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equations:

x + 2y = 1
3x - y = 17

From the first equation we get:

x = 1 -2y

Substitute x in the second equation, find y:

3x - y = 17
3*(1-2y) - y = 17
3 - 6y - y = 17
-7y = 17 - 3
-7y = 14
y = -14/7
y = -2

Find x:

x = 1 - 2y
x = 1 - 2*(-2)
x = 1 + 4
x = 5

Karen Sullivan delivers newspapers for the Tribune dispatch. She receives 18.2 cents per paper, six days a week (for the daily p

mario62 [17]

Answer:

About $241.11

Step-by-step explanation:

So, Karen receives 18.2 cents per paper.

She delivers 124 paper per day.

In other words, on days other than Sunday, she will make a total of:

$18.2(124)=2256.8\text{ cents}$

On Sunday, each paper is sold for $0.70 or 70 cents. She also sells 151 Sunday papers. Thus, on a Sunday, she will make a total of:

$70(151)=10570\text{ cents}$

Therefore, in one week, she will do the first equation six times and the Sunday equation once. Thus, her total pay will be:

$6(2256.8)+10570=24110.8\text{ cents}\approx\$241.11$
