A. For y= 2x-1, the slope is 2 and the y intercept is -1. Therefore, we should first plot (0,-1). From there, for each increment of x, increase y by 2. For y= 4x-5, the slope is 4 and the y ntercelt is -5. Therefore we should plot (0,-5) and plot an increase of 4 on the y axis per increase of 1 on the x axis. The solution is where the lines cross.
B. (2,3)
This is the concept of relative speed; We are required to calculate the speed of the car and the bicycle.
Distance between the car and Bicycle=374 miles
Time they met=5.5 hr
Speed traveled by bicycle=x
Speed traveled by car=x+33.4334
Relative speed=x+(x+33.4334)=(2x+33.4334) mph
Distance=speed*time
374=(2x+33.4334)*5.5
374=11x+183.8837
collecting like term we get:
374-183.8837=11x
11x=190.1163
thus;
x=(190.1163)/(11)
x=17.2833 mph
thus the speed of the bicycle was x=17.2833 mph
The speed of the car was (x+33.4334)=(17.2833+33.4334)=50.7167 mph
Answer:
p= -3/2 or p= -1 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
First, disregard the sign for absolute value and solve for x.
2x - 1 = 3x + 5
2x - 3x = 5 + 1
-x = 6
x = -6
Now, you have to interpret the absolute value. The absolute value of x is always the positive version of whatever the number is. Since x = -6, its absolute value is 6. Therefore, the possible value for x is only one, which is 6.
