Acceleration is the change in velocity over time. There's are formula's for such problems which are called kinematics equations. Look em up. One of them doesn't have t (time) in them you would normally use that one to solve this problem. 16/2/20=a=0.4m/s^2
I did it for you but please look it up, understand and memorize it ;)
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of tickets sold by Dan the first day is x.
Tickets sold on the 2nd day: x+3
on the 3rd day: x+6
on the 4th day: x+9
on the 5th: x+12
Since the total of tickets sold by Dan is 40:
x+(x+3)+(x+6)+(x+9)+(x+12)=40
5x+30=40
5x=10
x=2
number of tickets sold on the third day: 8
X=2y
2x+5y=9
substitute the x=2y into the second equation
2(2y)+5y=9
multiple the 2y by 2. 4y+5y=9
combine like terms. 9y=9
divide the 9 out from both sides. y=1
plug the y back into the first equation
x=2(1)
multiply. x=2
your answer is: x=2
y=1
1 yard = 0.9144 meters
1 yard * 10 = 0.9144 meters * 10
10 yards = 9.144 meters
9.144 meters
