Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer is b because the lines outside -65 are symbols for absolute value. Absolute value means the distance away from 0, so b would be an appropriate choice.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The fox is faster. Because he is a fox.
Also because he can (assuming he doesn't fatigue or get caught by hounds in the second half of the hour) run 42 miles in 1 hour.
The rabbit runs 35 miler per hour.
Velocity = Distance/time
Fox velocity = 21 miles/0.5 hour
Dividing by 0.5 is the same as multiplying by 2, so...
Fox velocity = 42 miles/hour
This is a system of equations. You can solve it by substitution or elimination. I'm going to use substitution x - 2y = -4.5; add 2y to each side x - 2y + 2y = -4.5 + 2y; simplify x = 2y - 4.5 2(2y - 4.5) + 3y = 12 4y - 9 + 3y = 12 7y - 9 = 12 7y - 9 + 9 = 12 + 9 7y = 21 y = 3 <--------first answer x - 2y = -4.5 x - 2(3) = -4.5 x - 6 = -4.5 x -6 + 6 = -4.5 + 6 x = 1.5 <--------second answer Check: 2(1.5) + 3(3) = 12? 3 + 9 = 12? 12 = 12; It checks 1.5 - 2(3) = -4.5? 1.5 - 6 = -4.5? -4.5 = -4.5; It checks x = 1.5 and y = 3 <-----------Final Answer
Well using distance formula
The answer I got was Distance = 45.9 what ever unit of measure it might ask for. Feel free to check my math just in case.
