Answer:

Cyclist A lives farther from the Orchard

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

A(x) =48.5 -21x

B(x) =42 -16.8x

Required:

Who lives farther from the Orchard.

To do this, we simply calculate the y intercept.

This represents the total distance traveled to get to the Orchard

To calculate y intercept, we set x = 0

So:

A(x) =48.5 -21x

A(0) = 48.5-21*0 =48.5-0 =48.5

B(x) =42 -16.8x

B(0) = 42 - 16.8*0 =42-0 =42

From the above computation:

A(0) > B(0) \to 48.5 > 42

Hence;

Cyclist A lives farther from the Orchard

mina [271]

Answer:

312z-41-6>12

subtract -41-6

312z-47>12

add it on both sides

312z-47>12

      +47   +47

312z>59

divide 312 to both sides

z<0.189

It is a linear equation but i don't know how to set the equation up , need help​
ryzh [129]

Step-by-step explanation:

x = number of novels

y = number of dictionaries

x = 8y

88x + 208y = 13680

now, using the identity of the first equation in the second equation gives us

88(8y) + 208y = 13680

704y + 208y = 13680

912y = 13680

y = 13680/912 = 15

x = 8y = 8×15 = 120

so, there were 120 novels and 15 dictionaries sold.
