Answer:
<u>Jonathan has to pay Faye back US$ 240 </u>
<u>Jonathan has 4 people on his bill and Faye has 6.</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Let's find out the amount of the phone bills, this way:
Total of the two bills = US$ 600
Faye's bill = US$ 120 more than Jonathan's
Jonathan's bill = x
Solving for x, we can use this equation:
x + x + 120 = 600
2x + 120 = 600
2x = 600 - 120
2x = 480
x = 480/2 = 240
<u>Jonathan has to pay Faye back US$ 240 </u>
2. Let's find out the number of people on each bill, this way:
Faye has two people more on her bill than Jonathan
Number of people on Jonathan's bill = x
Number of people on Faye's bill = x + 2
We will use the following equation:
240 * (x + 2) = 360x
240x + 480 = 360x
240x - 360x = -480
-120x = - 480
x = -480/-120
x = 4 ⇒ x + 2 = 6
<u>Jonathan has 4 people on his bill and Faye has 6.</u>
I got x = 96/18 i dont think the answer is there
Well it says SQUARE so in a square all sides are equivalent so it will be 3x3 and that will hy your answer (y=3)
<u>Question 1 solution:</u>
You have two unknowns here:
Let the Water current speed = W
Let Rita's average speed = R
We are given <em>two </em>situations, where we can form <em>two equations</em>, and therefore solve for the <em>two unknowns, W, R</em>:
Part 1) W→ , R←(against current, upstream)
If Rita is paddling at 2mi/hr against the current, this means that the current is trying to slow her down. If you look at the direction of the water, it is "opposing" Rita, it is "opposite", therefore, our equation must have a negative sign for water<span>:
</span>R–W=2 - equation 1
Part 2) W→ , R<span>→</span>(with current)
Therefore, R+W=3 - equation 2
From equation 1, W=R-2,
Substitute into equation 2.
R+(R–2)=3
2R=5
R=5/2mi/hr
So when W=0 (still), R=5/2mi/hr
Finding the water speed using the same rearranging and substituting process:
1... R=2+W
2... (2+W)+W=3
2W=1
W=1/2mi/hr
