D)One solution. b=5
Distribute 2 times b plus 2 times 3
2b+6
2b+6+2b=26
Combine like terms 4b+6=26
Subtract 6 from both sides
4b=20
Divide both sides by 4
b=5
Check by substituting 5 for b
2 (5+3)+2(5)=26
2(8) + 2(5)=26
16+10=26
26=26
-103
if he lost the same weight each week that means -412 (the weight he lost) ÷ 4 (number of weeks) = -103 (amount of weight lost in one week)
Answer:
A pile of pennies
Step-by-step explanation:
Question 1 Answer:
Aunt 1 and Grandma 1 would fill gift bags.
Mom and Aunt 2 would make centerpieces.
You and Grandma 2 would blow up balloons.
Since you are pairing up to complete the tasks, these pairs each have the shortest times in their respective categories and therefore are the most logical pairing to complete tasks.
Question 2 Answer:
We use algebra and our previous pairings to determine the length of each task.
<u>Gifts Bags --> 6/7 hours</u>
x = time together
= rate of completion
Aunt 1 = 
Grandma 1 = 
<u>Centerpieces --> 7/4 hours</u>
x = time together = rate of completion
Mom = 
Aunt 2 =
<u>Balloons --> 15/16 hours</u>
x = time together = rate of completion
You = Grandma 2 = 
Shortest amount of time to complete all tasks is:
≈ 3.54 hours
Converting hours to hours and minutes --> 3 hours 32 minutes
Therefore they must arrive by 5:28pm to complete the tasks in time to leave at 9:00pm.
Answer:
it will take 1.4 hours for the two trains to be 294 miles apart
Step-by-step explanation:
Let t be the time taken for each train
The westbound train travels at 95 miles per hour.
Speed of westbound train = 95
time = t
Distance = speed * time = 95 t
The eastbound train travels at 115 miles per hour
Speed of eastbound train = 115
time = t
Distance = speed * time = 115 t
both trains are 294 miles apart means the distance between both trains are 294 miles
So we add the distance of both trains and set it equal to 294
95t + 115t = 294
210 t =294
t = 1.4
So, it will take 1.4 hours for the two trains to be 294 miles apart
