Hello once again!
When you see a question like this, you need to find the equation of the straight line.
The formular used is y = mx + c
Where
m = slope
c = constant
First find the slope, since it's a straight line, any 2 coordinates can be used.
Now we need to substitude in the slope, and one of the coordinate you used to find the slope, to the formular to find the constant.
In this case i'm using the coordinate
(-2, 16)
y = mx + c
16 = -6(-2) + c
16 = 12 + c
c = 4
∴ The equation of the line is y = -6x + 4
The next step is to simply substitude in the x = 8 to the equation to find y.
y = -6(8) + 4
y = -48 + 4
y = -44
Answer: she would catch up with Tom in 1 hour.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let t represent the time it will take for Mary to catch up with Tom.
Tom leaves his boat from a dock and travels at a rate of 25 miles per hour.
Distance = speed × time
Distance travelled by Tom in t hours is
25 × t = 25t
Ten minutes later, Mary leaves the same dock in her speedboat and heads after Tom. Converting 10 minutes to hours, it becomes 10/60 hour
Time spent by Mary is (t - 10/60) hours. If she travels at a rate of 30 miles per hour, it means that the distance that she would travel in
(t - 10/60) hours is
30(t - 10/60)
= 30t - 5
By the time she catches up with Tom, they would have covered the same distance. It means that
25t = 30t - 5
30t - 25t = 5
5t = 5
t = 5/5 = 1 hour
Answer:
increasing
Step-by-step explanation:
The given statement is "nine times five less than twice x".
So, twice of x can be written as 2x and nine times five is 9*5.
Now 9*5 less 2x means we need to take out 9*5 from 2x.
Hence, this statement will be converted into an algebraic expression as follows:
2x-9*5
5(5+x) = 6(6+4)
25+5x = 60
5x = 35
x = 7
-----------------
3(3+5) = 4(4+x)
24 = 16 + 4x
4x = 24-16
4x = 8
x = 2
