Answer:

David's average speed is 55 mph and Andrew's average speed is 70 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let David's speed be s.

Average speed is given as:

speed = distance / time

They both spent the same time, t.

David's speed is:

s = 110 / t

=> t = 110 / s

Andrew travels 15 mph faster than David.

Andrew's speed is:

(15 + s) = 140 / t

=> t = 140 / (15 + s)

Therefore, since they spent the same time:

110 / s = 140 / (15 + s)

Cross multiply:

110(15 + s) = 140s

1650 + 110s = 140s

1650 = 140s - 110s

30s = 1650

s = 1650 / 30

s = 55 mph

Andrew's speed is:

15 + 55 = 70 mph

Therefore, David's average speed is 55 mph and Andrew's average speed is 70 mph.

Which of these strategies would eliminate a variable in the system of equations? ​8x+8y=2 8x+5y=1 ​ Add the equations. (Choice B
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

B. Subtract the bottom equation from the top equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

When looking at the two equations:

8x + 8y = 2

8x + 5y = 1

We can easily get rid of the x variable by subtracting the two equations from each other since the terms are equivalent. This would allow us to solve for the y value, which we could plug into the an equation to solve for the x value.

The table below relates the number of rats in a population to time in weeks. Use the table to write a linear equation with w as
salantis [7]

Answer:

C(w) = 6w + 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Anytime 0 is given somewhere, it should be given close scrutiny. In an equation whose general form is

y = mx + b

0 will determine the y intercept immediately.

So when x = 0, y will equal

y = 0*m + 9

So b = 9

y = mx + 9 Now we need to find m

I should start using your variables.

C(w) = m*w + 9

when w = 3 then C(3) = 27

27= 3m +9

27-9 =3m + 9 -9

18 = 3m

18/3 = 3m/3

x = 6

So the complete equation is

C(w) = 6w + 9
