Find the ordered pairs for the x- and y-intercepts of the equation 3x - 2y =18

1 answer:

5 0

X-int:let y=0
3x-2(0)=18
3x=18
divide both sides by 3
therefore x=6
y-int:let x=0
3(0)-2y=18
-2y=18
we divide both side by -2
therefore y=-9

ohaa [14]

Given:
speed = distance / time

walking: 3 miles per hour
running 5 miles per hour
for a total of 3 hours.

3t = 5(3-t)
3t = 15 - 5t
3t + 5t = 15
8t = 15
t = 15/8
t = 1 7/8

7/8 * 60 mins = 52.50 minutes

t = 1 hour and 52.5 minutes

It took Stu 1 hour and 52.5 minutes to hike the trail one way.
