Write an equation to represent the number of pages Jesse has read. Using x, the number of days Amir has been reading, write an e

katrin [286]

Question:

Jesse and Amir were assigned the same book to read. Jesse started reading on Saturday, and he is reading 30 pages a day. Amir didn't start until Sunday, but he is reading 35 pages a day.

How many days will it take Amir to catch up to Jesse, and how many pages will they each have read?

Write an equation to represent the number of pages Amir has read. Use x to represent the number of days Amir has been reading and y to represent the number of pages he has read.

Answer:

It will take 6 days

Step-by-step explanation:

For Jesse:

$Rate = 30\ pages/day$

This implies that Jesse will cover 30y in y days

For Amir:

$Rate = 35\ pages/day$

This implies that Amir will cover 35x in x days

Because Amir starts a day later,

$y = x + 1$

So, we have the following equations:

$Jesse = 30y$

$Amir= 35x$

$y = x + 1$

To get the number of days when they read the same number of pages, we have:

$Jesse = Amir$

Substitute values for Jesse and Amir

$30y = 35x$

Substitute x + 1 for y

$30(x+1) = 35x$

Open bracket

$30x+30 = 35x$

Collect Like Terms

$30 = 35x-30x$

$30 = 5x$

Solve for x

$\frac{30}{5} = \frac{5x}{5}$

$\frac{30}{5} = x$

$6 = x$

$x = 6$

Adult tickets for the school play are $12.00 and children's tickets are $8.00. If a theatre holds 300 seats and the sold out per

Vaselesa [24]

Let x = number of adult tickets, and y = number of children tickets. One equation must deal with the number of tickets, and the other equation must deal with the revenue from the tickets.

Then x + y = 300 is the number of tickets
12x + 8y = 3280 is the revenue from the tickets.

Using the substitution method:

x + y = 300   ⇒   y = 300 - x   ⇒   Equation (3)

12x + 8y = 3280   ⇒   12x + 8(300-x) = 3280   ⇒   x = 220

y = 300 - x   ⇒   y = 300-220 ⇒ 80

Therefore 220 adult tickets and 80 children's tickets were sold.

Find the equation of the line that passes through (-1,-3) and is perpendicular to

miv72 [106K]

Answer:

y = -2x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

2y = x - 3

y = 1/2x - 3/2

gradient = 1/2

perpendicular gradient = negative reciprocal = -2

y = -2x + c

(-3) = -2(-1) + c

-3 = 2 + c

-5 = c
