Answer:

The number of students chose jogging is <u>144</u>, chose swimming is <u>72</u>, chose yoga is<u> 144</u> and chose biking is <u>288</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

At westwood Middle School, 648 students responded to a survey asking about their favorite type of exercise.

Twice as many students chose jogging as swimming.

The same number of students chose yoga as jogging.

Twice as many students chose biking as jogging.

Now, to find the number of students chose each type of exercise.

<em>Let the students chose jogging be </em>w.<em />

<em>The student chose swimming be </em>x.<em />

<em>The student chose yoga be </em>y.<em />

<em>And the student chose biking be</em> z.

As per given in question:

Twice as many students chose jogging as swimming.

w=2x\\\frac{w}{2} =x\\.........(1)

The same number of students chose yoga as jogging.

y=w .........(2)

Twice as many students chose biking as jogging.

z=2w.  .........(3)

Total students surveyed = 648.

According to question:

w+x+y+z=648.

Putting the value from above equations (1), (2) and (3) we :

w+\frac{w}{2} +w+2w=648

4w+\frac{w}{2}=648

\frac{8w+w}{2} =648

\frac{9w}{2}=648

<em>Multiplying both sides by 2 we get:</em>

9w=1296

<em>Dividing both sides by 9 we get:</em>

w=144.

<u><em>The students chose jogging = 144.</em></u>

<em><u>The student chose swimming:</u></em>

x=\frac{w}{2} \\x=\frac{144}{2} \\x=72

<u><em>The students chose yoga:</em></u>

y=w\\y=144.

<u><em>The student chose biking :</em></u>

z=2w\\z=2\times 144\\z=288

Therefore, the number of students chose jogging is 144, chose swimming is 72, chose yoga is 144 and chose biking is 288.

What is an equation of the line that passes through the point (8,-5) and is parallel
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

y=-5/4x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We're given the line 5x+4y=24 and we want to find the line parallel to it that passes through (8,-5)

Parallel lines have the same slopes

First, we need to find the slope of 5x+4y=24.

We'll do that by converting 5x+4y=24 from standard form (ax+by=c where a, b, and c are integers) to slope-intercept form (y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept)

subtract 5x from both sides

4y=-5x+24

divide by 4 on both sides

y=-5/4x+6

since -5/4 is in the place where m should be, it is the slope.

So the equation of the line parallel to it will also have -5/4 as the slope

Here's the equation so far in slope-intercept form:

y=-5/4x+b

we need to find b

because the equation will pass through (8,-5), we can use it to solve for b

substitute 8 as x and -5 as y

-5=-5/4(8)+b

multiply

-5=-10+b

add 10 to both sides

5=b

substitute 5 as b into the equation

<u>y=-5/4x+5</u>

That's the equation of the line parallel to 5x+4y=24.

Hope this helps!
