The intercept is -25 because for a quadratic equation in the form
the c value or the number without a variable attached is the y intercept
Ayou do it the exact same as whole number fractions but you might have to be more mindfull of the decimals
Step-by-step explanation:
For June:
Bike:
(4) * (3 1/4) = 13 miles
Swim:
(4) * (2 1/2) = 10 miles
Total:
13 + 10 = 23 miles
For July:
Bike:
(3) * (4 3/4) = 14.25 miles
Swim:
(3) * (3 1/2) = 10.5 miles
Total:
14.25 + 10.5 = 24.75 miles
The difference between both months is:
24.75 - 23 = 1.75 miles
Answer:
the total distance Cameron bike and swim in July compared to the total distance he bike in swim in June was 1.75 miles greater
Ok so in order to do this, you have to set up an equation. Let's make a=the score of the first test and b=the score of the second test. (You can choose different variables, it doesn't matter.) It says the sum of the two equals 170. So, a+b=170. It also says that the score of the first was 6 less than the second. This can be shown as a=b-6. Now you can plug this in for a in your original equation. It will look like:
(b-6)+b=170
You can solve for b.
2b-6=170
2b=176
b=88
Since you want a, plug into either equation for b. I'll use the second one.
a=88-6
So, a=82
