One of your friends gives you $10 for a charity walkathon -- this is your beginning amount.
Another friend gives you an amount per mile -- you will to calculate this value.
After 5 miles, you have raised $13.50 total --
-- Since one friend gave you $10.00, subtract this from the $13.50 to give you the amount by walking the 5 miles
-- $10.00 - $13.50 = $3.50
-- Since you walked 5 miles, divide $3.50 by 5 to give you $0.70 per mile earned.
So, an equation that represents the amount of money earned is: y = $0.70x+$10.00.
This is in slope-intercept form; the slope is $0.70 and represents the amount of money earned per mile and the intercept is $10.00 and represents the initial amount of money that you were given.
Answer:
x=-7/3 and y=-6
Step-by-step explanation:
6x-3(3x+1)=4
6x-9x-3=4
-3x-3=4
-3x=7
x=-7/3
y=3(-7/3)+1
y=-6
Answer:
Mai lives 384 miles away from the mountains
Step-by-step explanation:
Let d represent distance between Mai's house and mountains and r represent Mai's rate while going to mountains.
We have been given that there was heavy traffic on the way there, and the trip to mountains took 8 hours.
We are also told that when Mai drove home, there was no traffic and the trip only took 6 hours. Her average rate was 16 miles per hour faster on the trip home.
Upon equating equation (1) and equation (2), we will get:
Upon substituting in equation (1), we will get:
Therefore, Mai lives 384 miles away from the mountains.
When u multiply by a fraction, you get a smaller number. Multiplication means<span> “of,” especially with fractions. So 0.2 × 9 means, “0.2 of nine”—and that’s smaller than nine. Hope that helps
