Answer:

  1. 5/2
  2. 8
  3. 65 mph, 62 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

The first two problems can be solved in your head by working backward from the end result.

__

1. After 3/2 is added, the result is 4. Then we must be adding 3/2 to 4 -3/2 = 5/2. We notice that 5/2 already has the numerator 3 more than the denominator, so the fraction of interest is 5/2.

__

2. If 3/8 is added to a number giving a result of 1, the number must be 1 -3/8 = 5/8. That is 5 times 1/8. The number of interest is the reciprocal of 1/8, so is 8.

__

3. Let x represent the speed of the faster car. Then x-3 is the speed of the slower car, and the two times are ...

  time = distance/speed

  390/x = 372/(x-3)

  390(x -3) = 372x . . . cross multiply

  18x = 1170 . . . . . . . add 1170-372x

  x =  65 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 18

The speeds of the cars are 65 mph and 62 mph.

Answer:

  (a)  (5, -3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The "substitution method" for solving a system of equations requires that you write an expression that can be substituted for a variable in one or more of the other equations in the system.

<h3>Expression to substitute</h3>

The given equations are ...

  • y = x -8
  • 2x +3y = 1

We notice the first equation gives an expression for y. This is exactly what we want to substitute for y in the second equation.

<h3>Substitution</h3>

When the expression (x-8) is substituted for y in the second equation, you get ...

  2x +3(x -8) = 1

This simplifies to ...

  5x -24 = 1

<h3>Solution</h3>

This 2-step equation can now be solved in the usual way:

  5x = 25 . . . . . . add 24 to isolate the variable term

  x = 25/5 = 5 . . . . . divide by the coefficient of x

Note that we now know what the correct answer choice is.

Using the expression for y, we find ...

  y = x -8 = 5 -8 = -3

The solution is (x, y) = (5, -3).

__

The attached graph confirms this solution.
