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

Given a scalene triangle with whole number angle measurements, what is the greatest sum possible of the two smallest angles?
Olegator [25]

SOLUTION

Given the question in the image, the following are the solution steps to answer the question.

STEP 1: Define scalene triangle

A Scalene Triangle is any triangle with unequal sides. This means that, in a scalene triangle, all of the three sides and angles are different lengths, just like in the illustration below. This also means that each angle has to be different.

STEP 2: Get the greatest sum possible of the two smallest angles

Since the measures of the angles of the triangle are different whole numbers , for the sum of the two angles to be the least possible, one of the angles must be smallest whole number i.e 1°

Now, the next smallest angle will be the next angle of a whole number that is not 1 degree, i.e, 2 degrees.

Thus, the greatest possible sum of the measures of two smallest angles will be:

1^{\circ}+2^{\circ}=3^{\circ}

Hence, the greatest sum possible of the two smallest angles is 3 degrees
