Given that, the time (t) taken to complete a journey varies directly as the distance (d) and inversely as the average speed (s).

Hence, we can set an equation as following:

t = k\frac{d}{s}

Other information is that it takes 3 hours to complete a 280km trip at 80km/h.

So, plug in t = 3, d = 280 and s = 80 in the above equation to get the value of k. Therefore,

3=k \frac{280}{80} [/tex3 = k* 3.5[tex] \frac{3}{3.5} =\frac{k*3.5}{3.5} Divide each sides by 3.5.

k = 0.857142857

So, k = 0.857

Now we need to find the time when d= 546 and s = 65. So, plug in these values in the above equation to get the value of t. Hence,

t = 0.857*\frac{546}{65}

= 0.857 * 8.4

= 7.1988

= 7 hours ( Rounded to nearest integer).

So, it will take 7 hours.

Hope this helps you!

Rina8888 [55]

ANSWER

The linear equation is: y = 80x + 65

Te cost for 40 football jerseys: $3265

EXPLANATION

Let 'x' be the number of jerseys and 'y' the cost of x jerseys.

Each jersey costs $80, so the cost of x jerseys is 80x. There's also an extra fee for procesing of $65, which is the same no matter how many jerseys they buy.

Therefore, the cost 'y' of x jerseys is:

y=80x+65

Now we want to know the cost of 40 football jerseys, so we just have to replace x by 40 and solve:

\begin{gathered} y=80\cdot40+65 \\ y=3200+65 \\ y=3265 \end{gathered}
