Mom drove for 11 hours.

Dad drove for 3 hours.

<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:

  • Total hours = 14 hours
  • Total distance = 895 miles
  • Mom drove a speed of 65 mph
  • Dad drove a speed of 60 mph

Let 'x' be the number of hours drove by mom.

Let 'y' be the number of hours drove by dad.

x + y = 14     ---------------(1)

65x + 60y = 895  ---------(2)

Multiply eq(1) by 60 and subtract eq(2) from (1),

60x + 60y = 840

-(<u>65x + 60y = 895</u>)

 <u> -5x   = -55    </u>

x = 55/5

x = 11

∴ Mom drove for 11 hours.

Substitute x=11 in eq(1)

11+y = 14

y = 3

∴ Dad drove for 3 hours.

Consider the function, f(x) = 3x - 3. Determine the asymptote for the function f(x).
Natali [406]

Answer:

Y= 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression f(x) = 3x - 3.

To solve for the asymptote y

Firstly we need to solve for x

3x-3=0

3x=3

x= 3/3

x=1

Hence the asymptote of the function y=1

Mamie saved $161.25. This is 25% of the amount she needs to save, how much money does Mamie need to save?
babunello [35]
You would solve this by writing it as a porpotion. It would be 25/100=161.25/x. Then, you would multiply the 100 and 161.25, which would get you 16125, then you would divide this by 25, which would get you your answer : $645.
