The distance y in miles traveled by a striped marlin in x hours is shown in the graph. Each ocean creature’s distance in miles i

s a direct variation of the time it travels in hours. Select which ocean creature is faster than the striped marlin.
A tuna travels at a speed of 43.5 miles per hour.


A wahoo fish that travels 144 miles in 3 hours and 192 miles in 4 hours.


A swordfish whose distance y in miles is represented by the equation y=60x, where x s the number of hours.


A Mako shark whose distance y in miles is represented by the equation y=31x, where x is the number of hours.

Answer:

  swordfish

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph shows the marlin travels 50 miles in 1 hour, and 150 miles in 3 hours. These numbers can be compared directly to those given for the tuna (43.5 miles in 1 hour) and the wahoo fish (144 miles in 3 hours).

The speeds of the swordfish and shark are the coefficients of x in their respective equations. The swordfish travels 60 mph, so is faster than the marlin. The shark travels 31 mph, so is slower.

Which sequence is represented by = 10 − 29 where x represents the term number and y represents the term?
lina2011 [118]

Answer:

X = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Question: The sum of three numbers in order is 57. the equation that represents this is x (x 1) (x 2) = 57. which value of x from the set {16, 17, 18, 19} makes the equation true?

Answer: First you can use the equation to work out the value of x.

x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) = 57

Simplify the equation.

3x + 3 = 57.

Now solve the equation.

57 - 3 = 54

54/3 = 18

In short, The value of x is 18.
