<h3>Answer:   216 miles</h3>

=======================================

Work Shown:

d = distance from work to his house

x = speed when weather is good

y = speed when weather is bad

y = x-6 since he travels 6 mph slower

------------------------

On a good weather day, he travels for 4 hours and goes at x mph

distance = rate*time

d = r*t

d = x*4

d = 4x

----------------------

On a bad weather day, he travels 4.5 hours (half hour more than 4 hrs) and goes at y = x-6 mph

d = r*t

d = y*4.5

d = 4.5y

d = 4.5(x-6) .... replace y with x-6

d = 4.5x-27 .... distribute

----------------------

The values of d for both equations are the same, as the biker is traveling the same distance. So we can equate the two right hand sides (RHS) and solve for x.

4.5x-27 = 4x

4.5x-4x = 27

0.5x = 27

x = 27/0.5

x = 54

The biker's speed on a good weather day is 54 mph.

A bad weather day's speed would be y = x-6 = 54 - 6 = 48 mph.

----------------------

Now compute the value of d

d = 4x

d = 4*54

d = 216

The biker travels 216 miles on a good weather day

or,

d = 4.5*y

d = 4.5*48

d = 216

the biker travels that same distance on a bad weather day.

In slope intercept form, write the equation for the line that passes through the point (2,3) and the point (7,13).
tatuchka [14]
First, Use the slope equation to find the slope of the line passing thru these two points:

m=rise/run

Here, the rise is 13-3, or 10, and the run is 7-2, or 5.  Thus, the slope, m, is 10/5, or 2:  m=2.

We want the slope-intercept form, so let's begin with its general form:

y=mx+b.  Substitute the slope 2 for m:  y=2x+b.  Now choose either of the given points.  Arbitrarily I am choosing (2,3).  Then x=2 and y=3.

Substituting these values into y=2x+b:    3 = 2(2) + b, or b= 3 -4, or b = -1.

Then the equation of this line, in slope-intercept form, is y = 2x - 1.

a music store sells a used guitar for $120. This is $25 more than 1/2 the cost of a new guitar of the same brand. what is the co
labwork [276]

Answer:

$190.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write the equation 120=25+1/2n where n is the cost of a new guitar. First, we subtract 25 from both sides to get 95=1/2n. Then, we multiply both sides by 2 to get 190=n. Therefore, the cost of a new guitar is $190.
