The Taylor family went on vacation. They traveled 412 miles on Monday. At the end of the day Tuesday, the average speed of the c
mixer [17]

Answer:

d = 56x + 412

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the total number of miles traveled on Monday and Tuesday, use a linear equation to write the function.

y = mx+b where m is the speed or rate of change and b is the starting point.

The starting point on Tuesday is 412 miles. This is b.

The number of miles traveled on Tuesday is found by calculating 56 miles times the number of hours traveled.  This is the slope or m.

So the equation is d = 56h + 412.

Jason has $90 to spend. He wants to purchase a bag for $30, one eraser for $10, and three pencils. Each of the pencils costs the
snow_tiger [21]
90 = 30+10+3x

This equation shows that all the prices of the the bag, eraser, and pencils equals $90. So now all we have to do to find the price of a pencil is solve the equation.

First add the 30 and 10 together.

90 = 40+3x

Then subtract 40 from each side

50 = 3x

Lastly divide each side by 3

x = 16.67

The price per pencil is $16.67

Hope this helps!
