3f+3=t
s=2f
21=f+s+t

21=f+(2f)+(3f+3)
21=6f+3
18=6f

3=first
6=second
12=third

Answer: $28.35\ minutes$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be "x" the time in minutes a 150-pound person must walk at 4 mph to use at least 190 calories.

The amount of calories that a 150-pound person uses in 1 minute when walking at a speed of 4 mph is:

$Calories\ per\ minute=6.7$

Therefore, knowing this, we can write the following proportion:

$\frac{1}{6.7}=\frac{x}{190}$

Finally, we must solve for "x" in order to find its value.

Multiplying both sides of the equation by 190, we get this result:

$(190)(\frac{1}{6.7})=(\frac{x}{190})(190)\\\\x=28.35$

An engineer created a scale drawing of a building using a scale in which 0.25 inch represents 2 feet. The length of the actual b

Nady [450]

The length of the building in the scale drawing is 31. 25 Inches

<h3>How to determine the value</h3>

From the information given, we have that;

Scale drawing was used
0. 25 inches represents 2 feet
The length of the building is 250 feet

Then,

If 0. 25 inches = 2 feet

Then x inches = 250 feet

cross multiply
x × 2 = 0. 25 × 2500

Multiply through, we have;

2x = 62. 5

Make 'x' the subject by dividing both sides by 2

2x/2 = 62. 5/ 2

x = 31. 25 Inches

Thus, the length of the building in the scale drawing is 31. 25 Inches

How to convert between this equation: 15x + 5y = 25 from Standard Form to Slope-Intercept Form?

Leona [35]

Write the equation of a line in slope intercept form that is perpendicular to the line y = –4x and passes through the point (2,

Gnesinka [82]

1. If the line that we are searching for is perpendicular to the line y = -4x, this means that the gradient of our line and the gradient of the perpendicular line will multiply to give -1. Thus if we call the gradient of our line m, then:

m*(-4) = -1

-4m = -1

m = 1/4

2. Since we know that m = 1/4 and we have a point (2,6) on our line, we can use the formula y - y1 = m(x - x1) to find the equation of our line, where (x1, y1) is the coordinates of a point on the line. Thus:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 6 = (1/4)(x - 2)

y - 6 = (1/4)x - 2/4 (Expand (1/4)(x - 2))

y = (1/4)x - 1/2 + 6 (Simplify 2/4 and add 6 to each side)

y = (1/4)x + 11/2 (Evaluate -1/2 + 6)

Slope-intercept form is given by y = mx + c. As our equation is already in this form, there is nothing more to do. Thus, the answer is y = (1/4)x + 11/2
