Answer:

The given expression is

$52-3y$

If $y=2$ , then the expression would be equal to

$52-3(2)=52-6=46$

As you can observe, the expression is equal to 46 not to 20.

Adam's answer is incorrect, because 46 isn't equal to 20, neither the expression, maybe he made a mistake when he did the operations.

When you substitute y with 2, you get 52-3(2). -3(2)=-6. 52-6=46. 46 is not equal to 20.

The table represents the total miles traveled, y, after a number of hours, x. Hours, x Miles, y 2.5 150 4.0 240 5.5 330 7.0 420

maw [93]

(2.5,150)(4,240)
slope = (240 - 150) / (4 - 2.5) = 90 / 1.5 = 60

y = mx + b
slope(m) = 60
(4,240)...x = 4 and y = 240
now we sub and find b, the y int
240 = 60(4) + b
240 = 240 + b
240 - 240 = b
0 = b

so ur equation is : y = 60x + 0 which is written as : y = 60x <==

<h2>A can complete the work in 7*6 hrs = 42 hrs. </h2><h2> </h2><h2>A can complete in 1 hr = 1/42 part. </h2><h2> </h2><h2>B can complete the work in 7*8 hr = 56 hrs. </h2><h2> </h2><h2>A&B together do in 1 hr = 1/42 + 1/56 = 7/168 = 1/24 part. So they will do in 8 hrs = 8*1/24 = 1/3 part. </h2><h2> </h2><h2>Hence they need 1÷1/3 = 3 days to complete the work.</h2>
