To calculate any speed, the equation is speed=distance/time
Basically, you first need to take your 9 hours and 15 minutes and combine them into a number with a decimal value.
So, 15*4=60
Sound familiar? Good, because 25*4=100, so they are the same here.
So, we can say 9 hours and 15 minutes is equal to 9.25
Take this now: Speed=538/9.25
You get 58.1621, which you can round to 58.2
This is, of course, your final answer, so Joe drove at 58.16 mph
Answer:
lets start with the easy equation. X+Y=60. so we take 60 and subtract Y to get X by itself. meaning X = 60-Y. every time we see X replace with (60-Y).
X + 5Y = 100 change to
60-Y+5Y = 100
5Y - Y = 4y.
60+4Y = 100. 100 minus the 60 = 40. 4Y=40. divide by 4. Y = 10. ok so now we solve for X. X + Y (or 10) = 60. 60-10 = 50. X = 50.
Step-by-step explanation:
Im learning this too right now hope this helps
1.you get y by itself and put what y equals where y is in the other equation
y=2x. x+y=12
x+2x=12
3x=12. (divided 3 on both sides)
x=4
2.after you find x(or y) put it in one of the problems above and solve for whats missing which in this case is y
y=2(4) 4+y=12
y=8. -4. -4
y=8
