Answer:

12 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount of hours it takes Leroy to catch up to Kevin equal x. Since speed multiplied by time is distance, Leroy would have run a total of 6x miles(6*x). Kevin already had a head start of 24 minutes, which is the same as 2/5 of an hour. In 2/5 an hour, Kevin ran 2 miles as 2 is 2/5 *5. For the next x hours his distance would be a total of 5x(5*x). This means, after x hours, Kevins distance is 5x + 2. In this case, catching up to someone is the same as having the same distance value. This means we can set the two expressions equal to each other, and solve:

6x = 5x + 2

x = 2

The time it took Leroy to catch up is 2 hours, but we are looking for the distance, which is represented by 6x. We substitute in 2 to get:

6(2) = 12

This means Leroy had to run 12 miles.

19. The population of Jose's town in 1995 was 2400 and the population in 2000 was
Fantom [35]

The linear equation in slope intercept form for population of Jose's town is y = 320x + 2400.

<u>Solution:</u>

Given, the population of Jose's town in 1995 was 2400 and the population in 2000 was 4000,  

Let x represent the number of years since 1995.  

We have to write a linear equation, in slope- intercept form, that represents this data.

Now, let the change in population per year be p.

Then, population in a year = population change per year \times number of years + population in 1995.

⇒population in a year = p\times x + population in 1995

⇒ population in a year = p \times x + 2400

Here we have an case that, population in 2000 is 4000  

Then, number of years since 1995 = 5  

So, 4000 = p \times 5 + 2400 ⇒ 5p = 4000 – 2400 ⇒ 5p = 1600 ⇒ p = 320

Then, our equation will be population in a year = 320x + 2400  

Considering the population in a year as y ⇒ y = 320x + 2400.

Hence, the linear equation in slope intercept form is y = 320x + 2400.

Which is the range of the function f(x) =1/7(9)x? all real numbers all real numbers less than 0 all real numbers greater than 0
zimovet [89]
I cannot suggest anything other than the set of real numbers here, but maybe someone else can provide a better answer. As long as you increase or decrease x (which is a real number) then you will get a real number, or the infinite set of real numbers.
