The proportion given in the problem statement ...
... 3 days/(1 gallon) = 5 days/(x gallons)
can be multiplied by (x gallons/day) to get ...
... 3x = 5
Answer:
x=1 and y= 5
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this, lets take the first equation and find the x value.
Because it is ordered in standard form, we need to convert to slope-intercept form, and isolate the y.
5x+4y=16
-5x -5x
4y=-5x+16
÷4 ÷4 ÷4
y=
+4
or
y=-1
+4
or
y= 5
Now that we have the y value, we can use this to find the x value by inserting it into either equation, since they both have y values in them. Going with the first one again, lets try it:
5x+4(
+4)=16
5x-5+16=16
5x+11=16
-11 -11
5x=5
÷5 ÷5
x=1 and y= 5
Answer:
y = 13x - 1
Step-by-step explanation:
y = 13 x - 1
Slope y intercept
S = V*t
3.5 hrs * 4.2 mph = 14.7 mi
t = S/V
14.7 mi/ 2.8 mph = 5.25 hrs
