To find the rate, you must divide the distance traveled by the time it took.

17.5 m is the distance while time it took was 5 seconds.

So,

17.5 ÷ 5 = 3.5 m/s

The rate of the anchor is 3.5 m/s

Note: I did not ignore the negative sign in the distance but rather acknowledged it as a magnitude. This meant that the anchor was dropping down instead of going up.

The number 68 is increased to 73. What is the percentage by which the number was

Murljashka [212]

Answer: 1.1%

Step-by-step explanation:

To get a percentage you want to divide the ending number by the base number

73 / 68 = 1.07

It says to round to the neartest tenth, when rounding if the number is 5 or above you round up, if under 5 your number stays the same

7 is higher than 5 so we round up

1.1%

2x + 3y = 26 3x + 5y = 40 find x and y I will give brainliest

Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

x = 10 and y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

multiply first equation by 5 and 2nd equation by 3 then subtract equation 1 and 2, we get,

10x+15y= 130

9x+15y=120

( -) (-) (-)

x= 10

substituting the value of x in equation 1 we get

2x + 3y = 26

2*10 + 3y = 26

3y = 26-20

y =6/3

y= 2.i hope this helps

Fiona is serving iced tea and lemonade at a picnic. She has only 44 cups in which to serve the drinks. If x represents the numbe

masha68 [24]

The number of glasses is restricted to 44 cups. So the number of iced tea cups and the number of lemonade cups that she can serve is, maximum, 44. Then, if you call x the number of glasses of iced tea and call y the number of glasses of lemonade, you have that the total number of glasses (cups) is x + y. And the equation that represents the number of glasses that she cacn serve is x + y = 44. You can place it in other equivalent ways, for example, solve for y: y = 44 - x. Those two equations are valid answers because they represent the same equation.
