To grandparents house :
140/56 = 2.5 hours
Return trip :
140/50 = 2.8 hours
Total time : 2.8+2.5 = 5.3 hours
The expression "x is less than or equal to zero" can be written in several forms; some examples, however, could be:
x ≤ 0
0 ≥ x
(You could substitute any number in place of 3 for the below)
3 - 3 ≥ x
Slope is defined simply as delta y over delta x or the change in y over the change of x. We need to decided what points is going to be the start or the end. Typically, the point farther to the right of the graph is considered the end point.
Start: (1, 7)
End: (10, 1)

Divide it into chunks of area you can find. One way to divide it is
.. a rectangle 2 mi x 5 mi at upper left.
.. a rectangle 8 mi x 6 mi down the middle
.. a rectangle 3 mi x 4 mi at lower right
.. a triangle 5 mi x 6 mi at lower left
Then the sum of areas is
.. (2 mi)*(5 mi) +(8 mi)*(6 mi) +(3 mi)*(4 mi) + (1/2)*(5 mi)*(6 mi)
.. = 10 mi^2 +48 mi^2 +12 mi^2 +15 mi^2
.. = 85 mi^2
Answer:
x = 2.25, y = 2.5
Step-by-step explanation:
-2x + 2y = -2 .............equ (1)
2x + 3y = 12 .............equ (2)
equ (1) + equ (2)
-2x + 2y = -2
+ 2x + 2y = 12
=> 0 + 4y = 10
=> 4y/4 = 10/4
=> y = 2½
Substitute for y in equ (2)
i. e, 2x + 3y = 12
=> 2x + 3(10/4) =12
=> 2x + 30/4 = 12
=> 2x = 12 - 30/4
=> 2x = (48 - 30)/4
=> 2x = 18/4
=> 8x = 18
=> x = 18/8
=> x = 2^2/8 or 2.25
x = 2.25, y = 2.5
