Since it is given that Boris takes x minutes to run 5 miles it means that Boris' speed will be given as: 
.
Now, if Dylan runs slower than Boris and takes 12 more minutes to complete the 5 miles run, then that would mean that Dylan takes (x+12) minutes to complete the same run.
In this case we can see the Dylan's speed will be 
.
Thus, the denominator represents the time Dylan takes to run 5 miles if he takes 12 minutes more than Boris.
Therefore, out of the given options, the second option is the correct option.
5x + 3. You can also synthetically divide because of the linear divisor
Answer:
The number of nickels is 45 and the number of dimes is 72.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x ----> number of nickels
y ----> number of dimes
Remember that
so
------> equation A
------> equation B
<em>Solve the system by substitution</em>
we have
------> equation A
------> equation B
Multiply both equations by 100 both sides
---->
--> equation C
----> equation D
substitute equation C in equation D
solve for y
Find the value of x
<em>Alternative Method</em>
Solve the system by graphing
Remember that the solution is the intersection point both graphs
using a graphing tool
the solution is the point (45,72)
therefore
The number of nickels is 45 and the number of dimes is 72.
Is the 10 taking away 5 or was it meant to me 10.5 ?
