Answer:

Part a) Suzette ran 2 hours

Part b) Suzette biked 5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ------> total hours Suzette ran

y -----> total hours Suzette biked

we  know that

x+y=7

x=7-y -----> equation A

5x+20y=110 -----> equation B

Solve the system by substitution

substitute equation A in equation B and solve for y

5(7-y)+20y=110

35-5y+20y=110

15y=110-35

15y=75

y=5 hours

Find the value of x

x=7-5=2 hours

therefore

Suzette ran 2 hours and biked 5 hours

<u><em>Check your solution</em></u>

Her average running speed was 5 mph

so

Find the distance

Multiply the speed by the number of hours

5(2)=10 miles

Her average biking speed was 20 mph

so

Find the distance

Multiply the speed by the number of hours

20(5)=100 miles

Adds the two distances

10 +100=110 miles ------> is correct

The units pf the digits of a two digits numeral is 8 if the digits are reversed the new number is 18 greater than the oringal nu
ra1l [238]

complete question:

The sum of the digits of a two-digit numeral is 8. If the digits are reversed, the new number is 18 greater than the original number. How do you find the original numeral?

Answer:

The original number is 10a + b  = 10 × 3 + 5  = 35

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

the number = ab

a occupies the tens place while b occupies the unit place. Therefore,

10a + b

The sum of the digits of two-digits numeral

a + b = 8..........(i)

If the digits are reversed. The reverse digit will be 10b + a. The new number is 18 greater than the original number.

Therefore,

10b + a = 18 + 10a + b

10b - b + a - 10a = 18

9b - 9a = 18

divide both sides by 9

b - a = 2...............(ii)

a + b = 8..........(i)

b - a = 2...............(ii)

b = 2 + a from equation (ii)

Insert the value of b in equation (i)

a + (2 + a) = 8

2a + 2 = 8

2a = 6

a = 6/2

a = 3

Insert the value of a in equation(ii)

b - 3 = 2

b = 2 + 3

b = 5

The original number is 10a + b  = 10 × 3 + 5  = 35

Twin​ brothers, Billy and​ Bobby, can mow their​ grandparent's lawn together in 53 minutes. Billy could mow the lawn by himself
podryga [215]
5353 minutes = 89.22 hours
Maybe the figures should be 53 and 20??

Let's let Billy = A
The formula to use for work problems is
Time = (A*B) / (A+B)

53 = ( (A +20)* A) / (A +20 + A) )
53 = ( A^2 + 20A ) / (2A + 20)
A^2 + 20A -106A -1060
A^2 -86A -1060
A = 96.935
