The jogger was in a consistent rate in 2-3 minutes
Answer:
2.8 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Distance = rate * time
If the west-bound train travels at a rate of 80 mph for t hours, then the distance it travels is 80t.
If the east-bound train travels at a rate of 90 mph for t hours, then the distance it travels is 90t.
The distance between the trains after t hours is 476; therefore, the distance of the west-bound train plus the distance of the east-bound train equals the total distance between them, 476:
80t + 90t = 476 and
170t = 476 so
t = 2.8 hours
Answer:
51 DVDs
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of DVDs and CDs sold be x each.
<u>Initial</u>
Number of DVDs= 86
Number of CDs= 52
<u>After selling</u>
Number of DVDs= 86 -x
Number of CDs= 52 -x
Given that there are 3 times as many DVDs than CDs left,
86 -x= 3(52 -x)
<em>Expand:</em>
86 -x= 156 -3x
<em>Bring x terms to 1 side, constant to the other:</em>
3x -x= 156 -86
<em>Simplify:</em>
2x= 70
<em>Divide both sides by 2:</em>
x= 35
Amount of DVDs left
= 86 -x
= 86 -35
= 51
Add the two equations
since the 5x and -5x cancel out
you get y=-4
plug y=-4 into the first equation
solve for x
x=2
THE ANSWER IS: (2,-4)
-2 = 4r + s Subtract 4r from both sides
-2 - 4r = s Switch the sides to make it easier to read
s = -4r -2
