Answer:
Blake will jog 12 blocks
Step-by-step explanation:
Allison : Blake = 3 : 2
If they keep jogging at the same rate, how many blocks will Blake jog if Allison jogs 18 blocks?
Allison : Blake = 18 : x
Equate the ratios
3 : 2 = 18 : x
3/2 = 18/x
Cross multiply
3 * x = 2 * 18
3x = 36
Divide both sides by 3
x = 36 / 3
= 12
x = 12
Blake will jog 12 blocks
You can start by subtracting different equations from each other.
3x + 2y + 3z = 1
subtract
3x + 2y + z = 7
2z = -6
divide by 2
z = -3
add the following two expressions together:
3x + 2y + z = 7
3x + 2y + 3z =1
6x + 4y + 4z = 8
subtract the following two expressions:
6x + 4y + 4z = 8
5x + 5y + 4z = 3
x - y = 5
^multiply the whole equation above by 3
3x - 3y = 15
subtract the following two expressions:
3x - 3y = 15
3x + 2y = 10
-5y = 5
divide each side by -5
y=-1
take the following expression from earlier:
x - y = 5
substitute y value into above equation
x - - 1 = 5
2 negatives make a positive
x + 1 = 5
subtract 1 from each side
x = 4
Therefore x = 4, y = -1, z = -3
I checked these with all 3 equations and they worked :)
(it's quite complicated, comment if you don't understand anything) :)
Answer:
0
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
= (-5--5)/ (9--8)
= (-5+5)/(9+8)
= 0/17
=0
The slope it 0
This is a horizontal line because the y value doesn't change. If the y value doesn't change, the slope it zero.
