Ted practices two types of swimming styles for a total of 50 minutes every day. he spends 20 minutes more practicing the breast

stroke than the butterfly stroke.
Part A: write a pair of linear equations to show the relationship between the number of minutes ted practices the butterfly stroke every day (x) and the number of minutes he practices the breast stroke every day (y).

Part B: how much time does ted spend on practicing the breast stroke every day?

Part C: is it possible for ted to have spent 45 minutes practicing the butterfly stroke every day? explain your reasoning.​

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

butterfly = x minutes

breast = y minutes

total is 50 minutes

breast stroke = butterfly +20

Part A

x+y = 50

y = x+20

Part B

Substitute the second equation into the first

x+ (x+20) = 50

2x+20 = 50

2x+20-20 = 50-20

2x = 30

2x/2 = 30/2

x = 15

y = x+20

y = 20+15

y = 35 minutes

35 minutes on the breast stroke

Part C

45 minutes on the butterfly is not reasonable

We only have a total of 50 minutes

50-45 = 5

But he spend more time on the breast stroke ( 20 minutes more), but if he spend 45 minutes on the butterfly, he would have to spend less on the breast stroke.

Find the inequality represented in the graph.
Digiron [165]

Answer: y > -1/2x + 2

Step-by-step explanation: first, in order to find the inequalities you should find the gradient by choosing two points from the line and you should you the formula m=y2-y1/x2-x1 to find the gradient.

Next, you should find the y-intercept in order to complete the inequality it can be easily found as the y-intercept is the place where the line crosses the y axis

Then you create your equation { y = -1/2x + 2 } and then if above the line is shaded then it is {> greater than} and if below the line is shaded then it should be {< less than}

(so you should replace the equation with the lesser or greater sign according to the way the graph is shaded)

What is the some need help????​
snow_tiger [21]

The sum formula for a geometric sequaence is:

sum(n) = a1(1-r^n)/1-r

Where n is the number of terms, a1 is the first term and r is the common ratio:

s(8) = 3(1-1/2^8) / (1-1/2)

s(8) = 3(1-1/256) / 1/2

s(8) = 2 253/256 / 1/2

s(8) = 765/128

The answer is C.
