Helga and Dora were solving the following problem together. A boat left Kyuquot and headed west at 15.5 km/h. A second boat left

Kyuquot half an hour later and headed west at 18 km/h. For how many hours did the first boat travel before the second boat overtook it? Both girls used t to represent the time taken by the first boat. However, they disagreed on the equation to model the situation. Helga’s Equation Dora’s Equation 15.5t = 18(t + 0.5) 15.5t = 18(t - 0.5) a) Explain what the expression on each side of each equation represents. b) Which equation is correct? Explain. c) What is the solution to the problem?

Please help me out with these 2 questions! Legit answers only please!
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

1.) 12 hours   2.) She made a multiplying error in the table.

Step-by-step explanation:

1.)

First, let's find the slope of this equation:

m = 135 - 81 / 5 - 3

m = 54/2

m = 27

Therefore, the equation should be y = 27x.

Now we substitute 324 for y and solve for x:

324 = 27x

12 = x (Divided 27 on both sides.)

Therefore, someone would have to work 12 hours in order to earn $324.

2.)

For this problem, it appears Amanda has found the correct equation for her recipe. When taking a look at the table, however, it seems as though she has made a multiplying error.

a walking path across a park is represented by the equation y=-2x-7. A new path will be built perpendicular to this path.The pat
jonny [76]

Answer:

The equation that represents the new path is y=(1/2)x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the slope of the give line

we have

y=-2x-7

so

the slope m is equal to

m=-2

step 2

Find the slope of the perpendicular line to the given line

Remember that

If two lines are perpendicular, then their slopes are opposite reciprocal of each other

so

we have

m=-2 -----> slope of the given line

therefore

The slope of the perpendicular line is equal to

m=1/2

step 3

With m=1/2 and the point (-2,-3) find the equation of the line

y-y1=m(x-x1)

substitute

y+3=(1/2)(x+2)

y=(1/2)x+1-3

y=(1/2)x-2 -----> equation that represent the new path
