Answer: Russia earned 13 gold medals, 11 silver medals and 9 bronze medals.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of gold medals that Russia earned.

Let y represent the number of silver medals that Russia earned.

Let z represent the number of bronze medals that Russia earned.

Russia earned a total of 33 medals. This means that

x + y + z = 33 - - - - - - - - - - - 1!

In the 2014 winter olympics in sochi russia earned 4 more gold medals than bronze. This means that

x = z + 4

The number of silver medals earned was 7 less than twice the number of bronze. This means that

y = 2z - 7

Substituting x = z + 4 and y = 2z - 7 into equation 1, it becomes

z + 4 + 2z - 7 + z = 33

4z - 3 = 33

4z = 33 + 3 = 36

z = 36/4 = 9

x = z + 4 = 9 + 4

x = 13

y = 2z - 7 = 2 × 9 - 7

y = 11

Answer:

"Susanna starts out slower than Anita but still wins the race."

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance of the race is "5 miles". We can see the "endpoint" of each race's graph and corresponding y value. That is 5 miles.

Now, we look at corresponding "x" value, that is the time it took.

For Susannah, it is 5.5 minutes

For Anita, it is 7 minutes.

So, clearly, Susanna wins the race.

Now, we look at the "slopiness" of each person's line graph. This is the speed at which they were going.

The red line (Susanna) is quite sharper than anita, so her speed (rate) is more. But initially, we can see that the blue line (Anita) was sharper than Susanna but later gradually fell. So we can say:

Susanna started out slower than Anita, but ultimately won.

From the answer choices, last one is right -- "Susanna starts out slower than Anita but still wins the race."

Heidi solved the equation 3(x+4)+2=2+5(x-4)
dimaraw [331]
3x+14=2+5x-20
3x+14=5x-18
-5x -5x
-2x+14=-18
-14 -14
-2x=-32
Divide that -32 with -2
And the answer is x=16.
