Think of it as a normal linear equation first. Let's find the slope.
m = rise/run = (3-1)/(0-1) = -2
We know the slope is negative now, so we can immediately get rid of the first two answers. Now, we know that the solutions must be under the line itself, so we can try figuring it out by testing some points. Let's use (0,0).
Is 0 </> 0+3? Since it's <, then we know the last answer is correct (y < -2x + 3).
The entire race is 1 full race.
One full race is 1.
He ran 3/8 of 1, so he ran 3/8.
He needs to run the rest of the race.
The rest is unknown, so we call it x.
When you add 3/8 to the unknown, you get the full race.
The equation is
x + 3/8 = 1
Change 1 to a denominator of 8.
x + 3/8 = 8/8
Subtract 3/8 from both sides.
x = 5/8
Answer: He still needs to run 5/8 of the race.
Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
6x+2y=12
2y=6x-12
y=6x/2- 12/2
y=3x-6
