PLEASE HELP ASAP I’LL GIVE BRAINLEST ITS ALEKS ALGEBRA 2 MATH

Answer 1

A)
145 - 5d
5d = 145, set equal

29 days to lay all the track

b)
5*19 = 95

145-95 = 50

After 19 days, they have 50 miles to go.

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

well since they can lay 7 miles of track every day, the formula i make for the amount of track there is left to lay is:

L=196-Ld

where l is the length of track remaining, L is the length of track they can lay in one day and d is the number of days.

so we replace L for 7 and d for 17 and we get:

L=196-7x17

which works out to be 77 miles of track remaining to lay.

(b)

well since we want them to have 0 length of track remaining, and they can lay 7 miles of track a day, we can work out d. let's give the formula a bash to get:

d=196-l/L

we then replace l with 0 and L with 7 and get:

d=196/7

which works out to be 28. so it will take 28 days or 4 weeks for the railroad crew to lay 196 miles of track.
