The expression equivalent to the total distance Rhonda drove is 51x = 275
Given:
Distance 1:
Number of miles = 51 miles
Number of hours = 5 hours
Distance 2:
Number of miles = 55 miles
Number of hours = x hours
<em>Ratio of miles to number of hours</em> = 51 miles : 5 hours
<em>Ratio of miles to number of hours</em> = 55 miles : x hours
Equate the ratios
51 : 5 = 55 : x
51/5 = 55/x
cross product
51 × x = 5 × 55
51x = 275
x = 275 / 51
x = 5.392156862745098
Approximately,
x = 5.4 hours
Therefore, the number of hours taken to travel 55 miles is 5.4 hours

Answer:
y - 13 = 5(x + 2)
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in point- slope form is
y - b = m(x - a)
where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line
Given y = 5x - 3 in slope- intercept form
with slope m = 5, then
m = 5 and (a, b) = (- 2, 13)
y - 13 = 5(x - (- 2)), that is
y - 13 = 5(x + 2) ← in point- slope form
Angles in a triangle add up to 180 degrees.
All angles in an equilateral triangle have equal values
Both angle x and y equal 60 degrees.
