Two hikers are walking along the Appalachian Trail. The first hiker is 2 miles ahead of the second hiker. Both hikers are travel

ing in the same direction at the same speed, 1 mile per hour. Let x represent the distance traveled by the first hiker after a certain time period.
Several students wrote equations for this situation. Which student is correct?


A.

Alex said, “The equation y = 2x + 1 represents the total distance traveled by both hikers.”



B.

Brenda said, “The equation y = 3x represents the total distance traveled by both hikers.”



C.

Chris said, “The equation y = x – 2 represents the distance traveled by the second hiker.”



D.

Drake said, “The equation y = x + 2 represents the distance traveled by the second hiker.”

Answer:

Chris is correct. (Choice letter C)

Step-by-step explanation:

We can eliminate choices A and B from the get-go because the problem stated that both hikers are traveling at 1mi/hr. This means that the slope of the equation would equate to 1, so just x.

That leaves us with C and D. The two equations both have a slope of 1, but C has a y-intercept of -2 and D has a y-intercept of 2, which represents the starting location of the second hiker. The first hiker is the one who is ahead by 2 miles, so it can't be D. This leaves us with choice C. Chris is correct.

Factor completely.<br> 81-100x^2
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

(9-10x)(9+10x) (I think this is the answer but I'm not one hundred percent sure)

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you can recognize that both numbers (-100x^2 and 81) are a difference of squares, in which means that they both can be square routed. Then, plug in the square routes of the numbers into (9-10x)(9+10x). 9 is the square route of 81 and 10 is the square route of 100. Make sure that when you put the numbers in the parenthesis that there is one negative and positive number since a negative multiplied by a positive makes a negative, hence making 100 negative. I hope that helped.

Solve for x. show work please!! 30 points &lt;3
Musya8 [376]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of all angles of a triangle = 180

x + 64 + x + 45 + 79 = 180

Combine like terms.

2x + 188 = 180

2x = 180 - 188

2x = - 8

x = -8/2

x = -4

x + 64 = -4 + 64 = 60

x  + 45 = -4 + 45 = 41

Please help me I need help The first part was already answered i need help with this part
Vilka [71]

Answer:

$15

Step-by-step explanation:

Can't help you with the drop down, as we need to know the info for Station A to be able to compare it with Station B, however, the cost for charging a car at Station B for 4 hours is:

use f(x) = 3x + 3  as the value of x = 4 falls in this function's interval

So f(4) = (3 x 4) + 3 = 15

So it will cost $15 for a car to charge for 4 hours at Station B.
