Answer:

12 mph and 16 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

distance = speed * time

56 = s * 2 + (s - 4) * 2

56 = 2s + 2s - 8

56 = 4s - 8

64 = 4s

16 = s

s = 16

s - 4 = 12

Let the speed of the faster bike = X

The slower bike would be x - 4 ( 4 mph slower)

Multiply each speed by time and add to equal total distance:

2x + 2(x-4) = 56

Simplify:

2x + 2x -8 = 56

4x -8 = 56

Add 8 to each side:

4x = 64

Divide both sides by 4:

x = 64/4

x = 16

The faster bike rode at 16 miles per hour

The slower bike traveled at 16-4 = 12 miles per hour

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

C .The initial amount of money placed in the savings account

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 3,267(1 + 0.02)^x

This is in the form

y = a b^x

where a is the initial amount

b is the growth rate

x is the time

3267 is the initial amount

1.02 is the growth rate, so it grows by .02 or 2 percent

and x is the time

Jasmyn uses 42% of a gift card to buy groceries if she spent $67.20 on groceries, how much was on the gift card to begin with
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

The card was worth $160.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that:

Percent of gift card used = 42%

Cost of groceries = $67.20

Let,

x be the total amount on gift card.

42% of x = 67.20

\frac{42}{100}x=67.20

0.42x = 67.20

\frac{0.42x}{0.42}=\frac{67.20}{0.42}\\x=160

Therefore,

The card was worth $160.
