One student begins in Cleveland, Ohio, and walks towards Buffalo, New York, a distance of 200 miles. She walks at the rate of 2.

5 miles per hour. Another student begins riding his bicycle in Cleveland and rides towards Buffalo at the rate of 11 miles per hour. The walking student begins her journey at 8:00 AM. The riding student starts 4 hours later.
Part A Write a system of two equations that could be used to find the distance each student is from Cleveland, Ohio, at any given time. Let x represent the distance that the walking student is from Cleveland, let y represent the distance that the riding student is from Cleveland, and let t be the time that has elapsed since the walking student left Cleveland.

Part B Solve the system of equations for x and y to determine how many hours elapse before the students meet.

Ok so student in cleveland walks 2.5 miles away from cleveland every hour from 8
so the distance, x is x=2.5t

the riding one rides 4 hours later, so t-4
11 mph
y=11(t-4)

A. x=2.5t
y=11(t-4)

when do they meet is when the distance when they are equal or when x=y
2.5t=x=y=11(t-4)
solve for t
2.5t=11(t-4)
2.5t=11t-44
-8.5t=-44
divide both sides by -8.5
t=5.17647

answer is 5.18 hours


A.
x=2.5t
y=11(t-4)

B. 5.18 hours

Evaluate 4 a + 5 b when a=3 and b= -1.2
Basile [38]

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug the values of a and b into the equation.

4(3) + 5(-1.2)

12 + (-6)

Adding negatives basically means subtracting, so...

12-6 = 6

Therefore your answer is 6

Hope this helps!

Solutions 

<span>Ivy has 4 tiles with pictures of plants and 5 tiles with pictures of animals. Ivy keeps all the tiles on a mat with the pictures hidden and mixes them up. She then turns one tile face up and finds the picture of a plant on it. She removes this tile from the mat and turns another over tile without looking. What is the probability that the second tile that Ivy turns over has a plant on it. To solve the problem the first step is to find out how many tiles are in total. Since one of the plant tiles were removed we have 3 left. 
</span>
5 + 3 = 8

Now we find the percent by dividing 3 from 8. The top number is called  the NUMERATOR<span> and the bottom number is called the </span>DENOMINATOR<span>.</span>

3 ÷ 8 = 0.375

0.375 x 100 = 37.5

Answer = <span>37.5% 
</span>
= (A)

Graph the line with slope −1/2 and y-intercept −5.
Allushta [10]

First, we can write the equation of the line using the information provided:

\begin{gathered} y=mx+b \\ where: \\ m=slope=-\frac{1}{2} \\ b=y-intercept=-5 \\ so: \\ y=-\frac{1}{2}x-5 \end{gathered}

Now, we can create a table:

Finally, we can graph the line:
