Let x be the distance from Syracuse where they pass. The first car travels a distance of x in time x/65 while the second car travels a distance 240-x in time (240-x)/55. They pass at the same time after leaving their starting points so x/65=(240-x)/55.
Cross-multiplying we get: 55x=65(240-x)=15600-65x, 120x=15600, x=15600/120=130 miles.
They pass 130 miles from Syracuse.
Idk what it means, sorry and good luck
Irrational is the correct answer
If there are 15 nickels which is $0.75 and 12 dimes which is $1.20, then that would equal $1.95 and be 27 coins.
Hello!
So to find the y-coordinate we need an equation for the line. The equation we can use is
y = mx + b
In this we already know m(the slope which is 3) and we can find b by plugging in the points that are given.
10 = 3(0) + b
10 = 0 + b
10 = b
So now that we've found b, we can use this in our equation
y = 4x + b
So now we can plug in the x-coordinate that we know (2) and find the y - coordinate.
y = 4(2) + 10
y = 8 + 10
y = 18
18 is your y-coordinate
