A car travels 20 mph slower in a bad rain storm than in sunny weather. the car travels the same distance in 2 hrs in sunny weath

ycow [4]

You can create two equations.

"<span>A car travels 20 mph slower in a bad rain storm than in sunny weather."
</span>
$\sf x-20=y$

Where 'x' represents speed in sunny weather and 'y' represents speed in rainy weather.

"<span>The car travels the same distance in 2 hrs in sunny weather as it does in 3 hrs in rainy weather."

$\sf 2x=3y$

</span>Where 'x' represents speed in sunny weather and 'y' represents speed in rainy weather.

We want to find the speed of the car in sunny weather, or 'x'. Plug in the value for 'y' in the first equation into the second equation.

$\sf \boxed{\sf x-20}=y$
$\sf 2x=3y\rightarrow2x=3(x-20)$

Distribute:

$\sf 2x=3x-60$

Subtract 3x to both sides:

$\sf -x=-60$

Divide -1 to both sides:

$\sf x=60$

So the car goes 60 mph in sunny weather.

You would transform 5x + 2x into the same term with the associative property, adding like terms. If you subsitute the different values into the expressions you notice that both have a rate of change of 7 like an arithmetic sequence. To see if any value will make the two expressions equal you make them equal to each other.

5x + 2x = 7x -1

7x = 7x - 1

0 = -1

No they will never have be a solution to both expressions to make them equal because they're parallel to each other.

If (a, -5) is a solution to the equation 3a = -2B - 7, what is a?

Andrew [12]

I think what you need to do is make B = -5
3a = -2(-5) - 7
3a = 10 - 7
3a = 3
a = 1
