Answer:

use the Dist = rate * time , formula.. I call it the dirt formula ( Di = rt )

Step-by-step explanation:

since the cars are closing their distance at 10 MPH.. this is question wants to know how long before the cars pass when they are 7 miles apart... this would be the same for a car going 10 MPH and needs to get to a location 7 miles away. sooo..

how long does it take to travel 7 miles at 10 MPH?

it takes 7/10 of an hour.. correct :)

.7 * 60 = 42 minutes

in 42 minutes car 2 will pass car 1

Which statement about this system of equations is true? A. The system has no solution. B. The system has a unique solution at (0

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

A. The system has no solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Check to see if the 2 lines share 1 slope

slope of blue line = $\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1} =\frac{7-6}{3-0}=\frac{1}{3}$

slope of red line = $\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1} =\frac{-3-(-4)}{3-0}=\frac{1}{3}$

Step 2: Realize that lines with the same slope never touch

We know lines with the same slope are parallel to each other so they won't collide

Step 3: Know what the question is asking you

When they ask for solutions to the system of equations they are asking you to find out where they intersect

Step 4: Find answer

Because we know this is a parallel line they will never intersect causing this system to never have an answer or solution

Therefore the answer is A. The system has no solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

The map shows it is 1170 miles from my school to Wall, South Dakota, a place well-advertised in the Midwest. If I want to take 4 days to get there, the required division is ...

... (1170 mi)/(4 da) = 292.5 mi/da

Solve for m: m + 4 = 5m - 12 m = 16 m = 4 m = 3 m = -3

kolbaska11 [484]

m + 4 = 5m - 12

Subtract m from both sides.

4 = 4m - 12

Add 12 to both sides

16 = 4m

Divide both sides by 4

m = 4
