Answer:

speed of motorcycle = 40 mph

speed of car = 50 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is the complete question

A car and a motorcycle leave at noon from the same location, heading in the same direction. The average speed of the car is 30 mph slower than twice the speed of the motorcycle. In two hours, the car is 20 miles ahead of the motorcycle. Find the speed of both the car and the motorcycle, in miles per hour.

Speed = distance / time

This question would be solved using simultaneous equation

let m =  average speed of the motorcycle

c = average speed of the car

c = 2m - 30  equation 1

20 =(c - m) x 2 equation 2

insert equation 1 into equation 2 and divide through by 2

10 = (2m - 30) - m

solve for m

m = 40 mph

substitute for m in equation 1

2(40) - 20 = 50 mph

Wyatt solved the following equation:
ohaa [14]

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 1/2 (6x - 4) = 6

Expand the brackets.

x + 3x - 2 = 6

Add like terms.

4x - 2 = 6

Add 2 on both sides.

4x = 6 + 2

4x = 8

Divide 4 into both sides.

x = 8/4

x = 2

If y=45 when x=15 find x when y=57?
Aliun [14]

Answer:

x=19

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this we need to find the simplest form of y and x

Chart:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Y            | 45 |

X            | 15  |

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To find the simplest form divide both sides with their gcf which is right now 15 so divide by 15: For y 15 divided by 45 is 3, for x 15 divided by 15 is one so the graph looks like this:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Y            | 45 |  3  |

X            | 15  |  1  |

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So now we know this fact we can just divide 57 by 3

(We need to divide it to see how many times does it take for 3 to get to 57 and we can use that number to multiply it with 1 and only one since when y is 3 x is 1.)

57 divided by 3 is 19

So we multiply 19 with 1 which is 19

So x is 19

Graph:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Y            | 45 |  3  |  57  |

X            | 15  |  1  |  19   |

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hope this helps!
