Let d represent the distance of the destination from the starting point.
After 45 min, Henry has already driven d-68 miles. After 71 min., he has already driven d-51.5 miles.
So we have 2 points on a straight line:
(45,d-68) and (71,d-51.5). Let's find the slope of the line thru these 2 points:
d-51.5 - (d-68) 16.5 miles
slope of line = m = ----------------------- = ------------------
71 - 45 26 min
Thus, the slope, m, is m = 0.635 miles/min
The distance to his destination would be d - (0.635 miles/min)(79 min), or
d - 50.135 miles. We don't know how far his destination is from his starting point, so represent that by "d."
After 45 minutes: Henry has d - 68 miles to go;
After 71 minutes, he has d - 51.5 miles to go; and
After 79 minutes, he has d - x miles to go. We need to find x.
Actually, much of this is unnecessary. Assuming that Henry's speed is 0.635 miles/ min, and knowing that there are 8 minutes between 71 and 79 minutes, we can figure that the distance traveled during those 8 minutes is
(0.635 miles/min)(8 min) = 5.08 miles. Subtracting thix from 51.5 miles, we conclude that after 79 minutes, Henry has (51.5-5.08), or 46.42, miles left before he reaches his destination.
Answer:
You just have to divide the equation by "x"'s coefficient (2).
2x/2=x
66/2=33
x=33
Step-by-step explanation:
<span>Step–1:Find a perfect square root as close to your number.
</span><span>Step–2: Divide your number by the square root.
</span><span>Step–3: Calculate the average of the result given in step 2 and the root.
Step-4: Simplify if needed. </span>
Let f(x) = y.
y = 4x - 12
Let x = 0
y = 4(0) - 12
y = - 12
This leads to the point (0, -12).
Let y = 0.
0 = 4x - 12
1 2 = 4x
12/4 = x
3 = x
This leads to the point (3, 0).
We now graph both points and then connect each point with a straight line.
