Question:

Jesse and Amir were assigned the same book to read. Jesse started reading on Saturday, and he is reading 30 pages a day. Amir didn't start until Sunday, but he is reading 35 pages a day.

How many days will it take Amir to catch up to Jesse, and how many pages will they each have read?

Write an equation to represent the number of pages Amir has read. Use x to represent the number of days Amir has been reading and y to represent the number of pages he has read.

Answer:

It will take 6 days

Step-by-step explanation:

For Jesse:

Rate = 30\ pages/day

This implies that Jesse will cover 30y in y days

For Amir:

Rate = 35\ pages/day

This implies that Amir will cover 35x in x days

Because Amir starts a day later,

y = x + 1

So, we have the following equations:

Jesse = 30y

Amir= 35x

y = x + 1

To get the number of days when they read the same number of pages, we have:

Jesse = Amir

Substitute values for Jesse and Amir

30y = 35x

Substitute x + 1 for y

30(x+1) = 35x

Open bracket

30x+30 = 35x

Collect Like Terms

30 = 35x-30x

30 = 5x

Solve for x

\frac{30}{5} = \frac{5x}{5}

\frac{30}{5} = x

6 = x

x = 6

x 0 1 2 3 y 8 1 −6 −13 Is the relationship a linear function? How do you know? A. No; the change in x and the change in y is not
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

The correct option is C) Yes; the change in x is constant and the change in y is constant.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the table shown.

x     y

0    8

1     1

2   -6

3   -13

Now observe the changes in x and y coordinates, if changes are constant then the given function is linear.

Consider the change in x coordinate.

1-0=1,  2-1=1 and 3-2=1

Now consider the change in y coordinate.

1-8=-7,  -6-1=-7  and -13-(-6)=-13+6=-7

Since the change in x and y is constant the given relationship is linear.

Therefore, the correct option is (C) Yes; the change in x is constant and the change in y is constant.
