Sandy is observing the velocity of a runner at different times. After one hour, the velocity of the runner is 4 km/h. After two

hours, the velocity of the runner is 2 km/h.
Part A: Write an equation in two variables in the standard form that can be used to describe the velocity of the runner at different times. Show your work and define the variables used. (5 points)

Part B: How can you graph the equations obtained in Part A for the first 4 hours? (5 points)

Answer:

As per the statement: Sandy is observing the velocity of a runner at different times.

Also, after one hour, the velocity of the runner is 4 km/h. and after two hours, the velocity of the runner is 2 km/h..

(A)

Let x represents the time in hours and y represents the velocity of the runner(in km/hr)

Then, we have two points from the given statement:

(1, 4) and (2, 2)

An equation of line for two points (x_1, y_1) and (x_2, y_2) is given by;

y-y_1 = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)

For the given two points (1, 4) and (2, 2) we have an equation:

y-4 = \frac{2-4}{2-1}(x-1)

y-4 = \frac{-2}{1}(x-1)

or

y-4 = -2(x-1)

Using distributive property: a\cdot(b+c) = a\cdot b+ a\cdot c

y-4 = -2x + 2

Add 4 on both sides we get;

y-4 +4= -2x + 2+4

Simplify:

y= -2x + 6

Add 2x on both sides we get;

y + 2x=-2x+6+ 2x

Simplify:

y + 2x = 6

[Since, standard form for linear equations in two variables is Ax+By=C]

Therefore, an equation in two variables in the standard form that can be used to describe the velocity of the runner at different times is:

2x+y= 6 ; where x represents the time in hours and y represents the velocity of the runner.

(B)

Equation in part A

It is given as;  2x+y= 6          .....[1]

To graph this equation; for the first 4 hours.

x                  y = -2x+6

1                  4

2                 2

3                 0

4                 -2

Now, using these points (1, 4) , (2, 2) , (3, 0) and (4, -2) plot the graph as shown below in the attachment.

A chef plans to mix 100% vinegar with Italian dressing. The Italian dressing contains 12%
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

Amount of  vinegar. 100% : 20 milliliters

Amount of  Italian dressing: 140 milliliters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call A the amount of  vinegar. 100%

Let's call B the amount of  Italian dressing . 12% vinegar

The resulting mixture should have 23%  vinegar, and 160 milliliters.

Then we know that the total amount of mixture will be:

A + B = 160

Then the total amount of pure antifreeze in the mixture will be:

A + 0.12B = 0.23 * 160

A + 0.12B = 36.8

Then we have two equations and two unknowns so we solve the system of equations. Multiply the first equation by -1 and add it to the second equation:

-A -B = -160

-A -B = -160

               +

A + 0.12B = 36.8

--------------------------------------

-0.88B = -123.2

B = \frac{-123.2}{-0.88}

B = 140\ milliliters

We substitute the value of B into one of the two equations and solve for A.

A + 140 = 160

A = 20\ milliliters

Can someone explain? And answer?
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

$25.00

Step-by-step explanation:

You already know that $85 is an additional fee added to the monthly fees.

So, you first have to subtract 85 from $685 to get the total amount of monthly fees paid over 2 years.

685-85= 600

So, you can conclude that $600 is the total amount of monthly fees paid.

Now, you want to divide 600 by (the number of months in 2 years) to get the amount of monthly fees.

Since there is 24 months in 2 years you do:

600/ 24 which equals 25.

In conclusion, you can find that the monthly fee is $25.00.
