2/3 is the simplification form
Answer:
The y, in the equation, represents the total distance, in feet, from an ant t minutes after starting out from a location near its home. The 6 represents the the distance of the location where the ant starts traveling. The 3 represents the amount of feet covered in one minute. That's why when you increase the minute by one (experiment!!), the distance away from home increases by three, and that means that the ant is traveling at 3 ft/minute. (lol crazy)
3 = the ant's speed in ft/minute
Let the number of pepperoni pizzas be x
pepperoni = x
veggie = x - 8 [<span>There were eight fewer veggie than pepperoni]
</span>combo = 3x [T<span>here were three times as many combo as pepperoni]
</span>
Given that the total Pizza: 112
x + x - 8 + 3x = 112
5x - 8 = 112
5x = 112 + 8
5x = 120
x = 24
x= 24
x - 8 = 16
3x = 72
So there were 24 pepperoni pizza, 16 veggie pizza and 72 combo pizza
1. X= 61/8
2. X= 61/9
3. Y= 20/3
Sub in 5 for x
y=(5)2 -9
y= 10-9
y= 1
