Answer:
Greater than (>)
Step-by-step explanation:
Last week, Jason ran 26.1 miles.
He wants to run further this week.
<u>Distance Run this week</u>
- 2.4 miles to the park,
- Four times around the park= 4p (if distance around the park is p miles)
- 2.4 miles back from the park.
Total Distance this week =2.4+4p+2.4
Since his distance this week is going to be greater than the total distance covered last week (26.1 miles), we then have:
Total Distance covered this week > Total Distance Last week
Jason should use the greater than inequality sign.
A) 2x -3(3x -7) = 7 . . . . substitute for y
.. -7x = -14 . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 21
.. x = 2 . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by -7
.. y = 3*2 -7 = -1 . . . . . . substitute for x
(x, y) = (2, -1)
B) 5(5x -2y) -2(3x -5y) = 5(8) -2(1) . . . . subtract 2 times 2nd equation from 5 times 1st
.. 19x = 38 . . . . simplify
.. x = 2 . . . . . . . divide by 19
.. y = (5x -8)/2 = 1 . . . . solve 1st equation for y, substitute x
(x, y) = (2, 1)
C) See the first graph.
(x, y) = (-4, 1)
D) See the second graph.
(x, y) = (3, 2)
