After 10 weeks, the boys will have same amount in savings.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Roberto already have $30.

Amount saved each week = $5

Let,

x be the number of weeks.

R(x) = 30+5x

Amount saved by Jack each week = $8

J(x) = 8x

For same amount, the functions will be equal.

R(x) = J(x)

$30+5x=8x\\30=8x-5x\\30=3x\\3x=30$

Dividing both sides by 3

$\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{30}{3}\\x=10$

After 10 weeks, the boys will have same amount in savings.

Rachel hikes at a steady rate from a ranger station to a campground that is 20 mi away. After 2 h, she is 13 mi from the campgro

Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

-3.5

The distance Rachel covers per hour is 3.5 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

After 2 hours, she is 13 miles from the campground.

After 4 hours, she is 6 miles from the campground.

Let x be the number of hours, y be the number of miles from the campground, then we have two points (2,13) and (4,6).

The equation of the line passing through the points $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ is

$y-y_1=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)$

Substitute:

$x_1=2\\ \\y_1=13\\ \\x_2=4\\ \\y_2=6$

Hence,

$y-13=\dfrac{6-13}{4-2}(x-2)\\ \\y-13=-3.5(x-2)\\ \\y=-3.5x+7+13\\ \\y=-3.5x+20$

The slope of the line is $-3.5$ and it represents that the distance Rachel covers per hour is 3.5 miles.
