Let the amount Tom does = x
Then Larissa’s time would be 3x( 3 times the amount of Tom)
And Neal would also be 3x
The total of the 3 is 84 hours so as an equation you have:
X + 3x + 3x = 84
Combine like terms
7x = 84
Divide both sides by 7
X = 84/7
X = 12 hours
Tom = x, so Tom exercised for 12 hours.
Answer: the length of Maria's piece of string is 45 inches.
the length of Katy's piece of string is 39 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the length of Maria's piece of string.
Let y represent the length of Katy's piece of string.
When they put the two pieces of string together end to end, the total length is 84inches. This means that
x + y = 84 - - - - - - - - - - - -1
Maria's string is 6 inches longer than Katy's. This means that
x = y + 6
Substituting x = y + 6 into equation 1, it becomes
y + 6 + y = 84
2y + 6 = 84
2y = 84 - 6 = 78
y = 78/2 = 39
x = y + 6 = 39 + 6
x = 45
Answer:
i believe u add all of them up
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
A(...; 7)
x =-1/5
B(8; ...)
y = 48
The slope is 5
Step-by-step explanation:
y−5x=8
A(...; 7)
We know that y=7, we need to find x
7 - 5x = 8
Subtract 7 from each side
7-7 -5x = 8-7
-5x =1
Divide by -5
-5x/-5 = 1/-5
x =-1/5
B(8; ...)
We know x = 8 we need to find y
y−5x=8
y - 5(8) = 8
y - 40 =8
Add 40 to each side
y-40+40 = 8+40
y = 48
Now we need to find the slope
y - 5x =8
Add 5x to each side
y -5x+5x = 5x+8
y = 5x+8
This is in the form y = mx+b where m is the slope
The slope is 5
