Sid walked 6 miles, which is 3/5 of the total distance.

Divide 6 with 3

6/3 = 2

2 miles is the walking distance for 1/5

Multiply 5 to both sides

2 (x 5) = 1/5 (x 5)

10 = 1

The total distance is 10 miles

hope this helps

over a season in a women's basketball league jackson scored 41 more points than the second highest scorer leslie. Together they

vlabodo [156]

First, you know that Jackson (let call her J) scored 41 more points than L (Leslie). What we don't know is how many points L scored so we can use a variable that will be 'x'.
So the equation will be J=41+x.
We also know that the total points is 1,189.
To find out what x is we first subtract 1,189-41. We then get 1,148.
We are now left with 2x and 1,148 so we divide 1,148 by 2 and get 574.
574=x so now we can plug that in.
J= 574+41
Jackson scored 615 points and Leslie scored 574 points

What is the slope of the line through (2,-2)(2,−2)(, 2, comma, minus, 2, )and (9,3)(9,3)(, 9, comma, 3, )? Choose 1 answer: Choo

svp [43]

Answer:

A) $\frac{5}{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the two-points formula for the slope of a line.

We know that the points (2,-2) and (9,3) are on the line. If (a,b),(c,d) are points on a line then the slope m is defined by the equation $m=\frac{d-b}{c-a}$ . In this case, a=2,b=-2,c=9 and d=3 then the slope is $m=\frac{3-(-2)}{9-2}=\frac{5}{7}$ .
