Answer:

They ran for 0.923 hrs and biked for 0.46 hrs

Step-by-step explanation:

First thing to do is write down the inequality of the question

5.2x + 20.8y = 14.4

10.4x + 18.2y = 18

Multiplying the whole equation by 10, so as to eliminate the decimal places, we have.

52x + 208y = 144

104x + 182y = 180

Multiplying the first equation by 2, we have

104x + 416y = 288, next we solve it simultaneously with the second equation

104x + 416y = 288

104x + 182y = 180

Subtract 2 from 1, and we have..

416y - 182y = 288 - 180

234y = 108

y = 0.46

Now, we go back and substitute for y in the earlier equation, so that

52x + 208(0.46) = 144

52x + 95.68 = 144

52x = 144 - 95.68

52x = 48.32

x = 48.32/52

x = 0.929

Solve (2x-1/4)+(x/3)=2<br> Please provide a step by step with explanation
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

x = 27/10 or x = 2.7

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Get rid of the denominator.

LCD of 4 & 3: 12

Multiply both sides by 12.

12 ( 2x - 1 / 4 ) + 12 ( x / 3 ) = 12 (2)

Reduce the numbers.

3 ( 2x - 1) + 4x = 24

Step 2: Distribute.

6x - 3 + 4x = 24

Step 3: Collect like terms.

6x + 4x = 24 + 3 ( - 3, the sign change when moved to the other side)

10x = 27

Step 4: Solve for x.

Multiply both sides by 10.

10x / 10 = 27 / 10 (the 10 cancels out)

x = 27 / 10 or x = 2.7

Answer: x = 27 / 10 or x = 2.7
