Mathematics

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -2x + 8

y = x - 1

solve by substitution

so y = -2x + 8......so sub -2x + 8 in for y back in the OTHER equation

-2x + 8 = x - 1 ........add 2x to both sides

-2x + 2x + 8 = x + 2x - 1.....combine like terms

8 = 3x - 1......add 1 to both sides

8 + 1 = 3x- 1 + 1....combine like terms

9 = 3x .....now divide both sides by 3

9/3 = (3/3)x.....simplify

3 = 1x....which is the same as 3 = x

so now that we know x is 3, sub that back into either of ur original equations to find y

y = x - 1

y = 3 - 1

y = 2

lets check it.....(3,2)

y = -2x + 8                          y = x - 1

2 = -2(3) + 8                       2 = 3 - 1

2 = -6 + 8                          2 = 2 (correct)

2 = 2 (correct)

so ur solution is (3,2) <=====

Ali hops on his 3 wheeler and heads off at 12 mph. Two hours later, Fatimah chases after him on a moped at 18 mph. How far will
mash [69]

Answer: 72 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the relationship:

Distance = speed*time.

Then we can write the equation for distance as a function of time for Ali as:

A(t) = 12mph*t

where t is time in hours.

Fatimah's equation will be:

F(t) = 18mph*(t - 2h)

where the -2h appears because she starts two hours after Ali.

Fatimah will overtake Ali when F(t) = A(t) (their positions are the same)

Then we need to solve:

12mph*t = 18mph*(t - 2h)

12mph*t = 18mph*t - 18mph*2h

12mph*t = 18mph*t - 36 mi

36 mi = (18mph - 12mph)*t

36mi = 6mph*t

36mi/6mph = t

6h = t

So Ali travels for 6 hours before he gets overtaken, then the total distance that Ali travels is:

A(6h) = 12mph*6h = 72 mi

Look online for the growth of the trunk of a tree. Estimate how much time does it take for a water oak to grow one inch in diame
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

Explained

Step-by-step explanation:

The trunk of a tree grows in two different ways, first in height and second in diameter.Usually tree grows one ring per year in diameter. So, counting the number of rings we can determine the age of a tree. Both height and diameter growth does not occur at the same rate. Tree grows more in height than in their diameter. Mature trees usually grows 1 inch in diameter every year.

Water oak gains 24 inches in height  every year and  1.5 inch growth in diameter annually, meaning if we divide 1.5 inches by 12 months we gets 0.125 inches growth monthly. So a water oak tree needs only 8 months to grow 1 inch in diameter.
