2.5 is 10% of 25. 2.5 * 6 = 15 = 60%
25 - 15 = 10. You have 10 words left to memorize.
I hope this helps.
The slope-intercept form is:
y = mx + b
where m = slope, and b = y-intercept.
You need a slope of 1, so m = 1.
You need a y-intercept of -1, so b = -1.
Replace m with 1 and b with -1 in the slope intercept form to get
y = 1x + (-1)
which simplifies to
y = x - 1
<span>1st train DATA:
rate = 50 mph ; time = x hrs ; distance = rt = 50x miles
2nd train DATA:
rate = 55 mph ; time = (x-(1/2)) hrs ; distance = rt = 55(x-(1/2)) miles
Equation:
distance = distance
50x = 55(x-(1/2)
50x = 55x - (55/2)
-5x = -55/2
x = 11/2
x = 5 1/2 hrs (time at which the 2nd train overtakes the 1st train)
Hope this helps!</span>
If Melody used the table and still made a mistake, you can
imagine how badly we'll do if we can't even SEE the table.
