Answer:
9) Vincent will not get the correct answer because the + 484 is unneccesary, as he already subtracted it.
10a) 310,000 + x = 465,000; so x = 155,000
10b) 930,000/310,000 = 3 times more

Answer:
1350m
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the distance ran by Denise, Farah and Elaine be D, F and E meters respectively.
From the given information,
D= ⅔(E +F) -----(1)
E= ½(D +F) -----(2)
Let's get rid of the fraction so the equations are much easier to work with.
From (1):
3D= 2(E +F) <em>(Multiply both sides by 3)</em>
3D= 2E +2F -----(3) <em>(</em><em>Expand</em><em>)</em>
From (2):
2E= D +F -----(4)
Substitute (4) into (3):
3D= D +F +2F
3D -D= 3F
2D= 3F
Given that Farah ran 360m, F= 360.
2D= 3(360)
2D= 1080
D= 1080 ÷2
D= 540
2E= D +F
2E= 540 +360
2E= 900
E= 900 ÷2
E= 450
Total distance the 3 girls ran
= D +F +E
= 540 +360 +450
= 1350m
Alternatively, you could start by substituting F= 360 to equations (1) and (2).
Answer:
20 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
I set this up as a linear equation:
45 + x = 25 + 2x
1. subtract x from both sides
45 = 25 + x
2. subtract 25 from both sides to isolate the variable
20 = x
Okay sub equation 2 into equation 1:
so it becomes
x + 3x = 8
4x = 8
x = 2
then 2 + y = 8, therefore y = 6
So the answer is B
