Step b is wrong. The slope is the change in y over the change in x.
Step b should be (18- 8)/( 10-6)
= 10/4
= 5/2
Answer: Kim can mow the greens alone in 6 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let K be the rate Kim mows the greens, and S the rate for Shayla. The rates K and S will be in greens/hour.
We know they can mow 1 green in 4 hours. We can state this as a sum of their rates times the 4 hours equals one green:
(4 hours)*(K + S) = 1 green
We are told that K = 2S [Kim is twice as fast as Shayla]
Subsititute:
(4 hours)*(K + S) = 1 green
(4 hours)*(2S + S) = 1 green
4*(2S + S) = 1 green
12S = 1 green
Shalya's rate is 1 green/12 hours
Kim is twice as fast: K = 2S
Kim's rate is 1 green/6 hours.
Answer:
Step 1: Transpose everything to one side
12. x²+16x+15-10x+4=0
Step 2: Add the like terms
x² + (16x - 10x) + 15 + 4=0
x² + 6x + 19=0
Step 3: Use the quadratic formula to get the value(s) of x.
a=1 b=6 c=19
therefore, x=... or x
Given that speed of car = x miles per hour
Time of travel = y minutes = y/60 hours
(Because there are 60 minutes in an hour)
We have to calculate distance travelled so we will use formula
Distance = speed * time
Distance = x * y/60
Distance = xy/60
Hence choice d) xy/60 is the final answer.
