Answer: they hiked 2 miles on the first day.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the distance that the group hiked on the first day.

During the second day of the hike, the group hiked twice as far as they did on the first day. This means that the distance that they hiked on the second day is 2x.

On the third day, they hiked twelve miles farther than combined distance of the first two days. This means that the distance that they hiked on the third day is x + 2x + 12

In all, they hiked 24 miles. This means that

x + 2x + x + 2x + 12 = 24

6x + 12 = 24

6x = 24 - 12 = 12

x = 12/6 = 2 miles

Answer:

y = 3/2 x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Line intercept form =

Y = mx + b

m is the slope (rise over run) and b is the y intercept.

So what you want to first is get y by itself.

9x-6y = -42

-6y = -42 - 9x

y = 9/6 x + 7

y = 3/2 x + 7

What is the solution set for the inequality x &lt; -2 or x &gt; 6
bija089 [108]

he solution set is

{ x ∣ x > 1 } .


Explanation

For each of these inequalities, there will be a set of

x

-values that make them true. For example, it's pretty clear that large values of

x

(like 1,000) work for both, and negative values (like -1,000) will not work for either.

Since we're asked to solve a "this OR that" pair of inequalities, what we'd like to know are all the

x

-values that will work for at least one of them. To do this, we solve both inequalities for

x

, and then overlap the two solution set
