Answer:

  • 1/2 hour
  • 20 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Your friend has a head start of (2 h)×(8 mi/h) = 16 mi.

When you leave, you gain on your friend at the rate of 40 mph - 8 mph = 32 mph. So, it will take ...

  (16 mi)/(32 mi/h) = 1/2 h

for you to reduce the distance between you to zero.

In that 1/2 hour, you have traveled ...

  (1/2 h)×(40 mi/h) = 20 mi

__

This is the same distance your friend has traveled in 2.5 hours at 8 mi/h.

Janice has $2.30 made up of dimes, pennies and quarters. She has as many dimes as pennies and she has 17 coins in all. How many
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:The equation would be 230 = 25y + 10x + 1x or 230 = 25y + 11x

You would then need to solve for x and y, which I forget how to do with 2 variables but since we're working with small numbers what I would do is continuously subtract 25 from 230 until the remainder is divisible by 11.

230 - 25*7 = 55 = 11*5

x = 5

Ok, adding the equation 2x+y = 17 you will now be able to solve for the two variables using a system of equations.

yes, you can come up with an equation. actually, you can come up several equations to generate a system of equations.

your first equation is correct.

(1) 25q + 10d + 1p = 230

now, you're told that the number of dimes equals the number of pennies. that just means, in symbols:

(2) d = p

finally, you're told that you have 17 coins in all, i.e.:

(3) q + d + p = 17

you now have three equations and three unknowns. use (2) to reduce (1) and (3).

(1′) 25q + 11d = 230

(3′) q + 2d = 17

now solve for the three variables.
