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

Here are two shapes with the same area. Work out the perimiter of the rectangle.
Lilit [14]
So, we know the perimeter is 24 cm. and the top part is the left part, (x) + 2, but remember, we need to have it be a number that, multiplied by 2, is 24. So, using this formula, the length, (top / bottom) is 7, and x = 5. Because 5 + 5 = 10, and when length is +2, it adds up to 14. 10 + 14 = 24. So, length is 7, width, (left, right) is 5.

wolverine [178]
Distance formula = sqrt[(x1 - x2)^2 + (y2-y1)^2]
D = sqrt[(1 + 2)^2 + (5 - 1)^2]
D = sqrt[3^2 + 4^2]
D = sqrt(9 + 16)
D = sqrt(25)
D = 5
