The answer is x equals 24
you set up a proportion new over old
so for red cars 40 over 5
since we don’t know the new for blue cars we’ll use x
so x over 3
we then make them equal to each other
40 x
—- = —-
5 3
cross multiply, then we get
120=5x
isolate the x by dividing 5 from both sides to get 24
Answer: 5.6 miles per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
Answers:
Slope = 3/4
y intercept = -1/2
================================================
Explanation:
The form y = mx+b is known as slope intercept form
m is the slope and b is the y intercept
Comparing y = (3/4)x - 1/2 to y = mx+b, we see that
m = 3/4
b = -1/2
X = how much Tim has
y = how much Tom has
x + y = 2.40
x = 3y
Substitute 3y for x
3y + y = 2.40
4y = 2.40
y = 0.60
Plug in y value into previous equation
x = 3(0.60)
x = 1.80
ANSWERS: Tim has $1.80 and Tom has $0.60
