Answer:

The speed of the cyclist is 10 miles per hour .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The distance cover by cyclist = D_1= 20 miles

The distance cover by biker =  D_2 = 6 miles

The speed of biker = S_2 = s  mph

The speed of cyclist = S_1= 7 + s  mph

The time taken by both cyclist and biker =  t hour

Now. Distance = Speed × Time

So,  D_1 =   S_1 × t

Or, 20 = s × t

Or, t = \frac{20}{7+s}             .....1

And ,

D_2 =   S_2 × t

or, 6 = s t              

Or,  t = \frac{6}{s}  ....2

From Eq  1 and 2

I.e \frac{20}{7+s} = \frac{6}{s}

Or, 20 s = 6 ( 7 + s )

Or, 20 s - 6 s = 42

Or, 14 s = 42

∴   s = \frac{42}{14}

I,e s = 3 miles per hour

So, The speed of biker = S_2 = s = 3 miles per hour

And The speed of cyclist = S_1= 7 + s = 7 + 3= 10 miles per hour

Hence The speed of the cyclist is 10 miles per hour . Answer

Which ordered pair makes both inequalities true?
Tatiana [17]

The ordered pair which makes both inequalities true is: D. (3, 0).

<h3>How to determine ordered pair?</h3>

In Mathematics, an inequality can be used to show the relationship between two (2) or more integers and variables in an equation.

In order to determine ordered pair which makes both inequalities true, we would substitute the points into the inequalities as follows:

At (0, 0), we have:

y > -2x + 3  

0 > -2(0) + 3

0 > 3 (false).

y < x – 2

0 < 0 - 2

0 < -2 (false)

At (0, -1), we have:

y > -2x + 3  

-1 > -2(0) + 3

-1 > 3 (false).

y < x – 2

-1 < 0 - 2

-1 < -2 (false)

At (1, 1), we have:

y > -2x + 3  

1 > -2(1) + 3

1 > -1 (true).

y < x – 2

1 < 1 - 2

1 < -1 (false)

At (3, 0), we have:

y > -2x + 3  

0 > -2(3) + 3

0 > -3 (true).

y < x – 2

0 < 3 - 2

0 < 1 (true).

You order a new pair of running shoes from a website that offers free shipping on orders of $75 or more. Your shoes cost $69.95.
gayaneshka [121]

Answer: x > 75-69.95; you need five dollars and five cents more for free shipping ($5.05)

Step-by-step explanation: i believe this is the correct answer because as long as you have 75 dollars or more, then you will be good so that’s how i got the inequality. to find this you just subtract the amount needed (75) by the amount you have and you get your answer. oh and to be clear x represents the amount needed for free shipping. i am not sure if i understood the problem correctly so i apologize if it is incorrect. i hope this helped and good luck!
