Answer:
480 miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the distance between Maria's house and mountains ans r represent Maria's rate for going trip.
We have been given that there was heavy traffic on the way there, and the trip took 12 hours.
We are also told that hen Maya drove home, there was no traffic and the trip only took 8 hours. Maria's average rate was 20 miles per hour faster on the trip home.
So Maria's speed while returning back would be 
.
Upon equating both distances, we will get:
Upon substituting in equation , we will get:
Therefore, Maya live 480 miles away from the mountains.
Answer:y = -4
Step-by-step explanation: In order to find the slope by these two points, (6,-4), and (-4,-4), you must use the slope formula:
rise/run, which is this case, is y2-y1 / x2 - x1 <--- this is the slope formula
Let 6 be x2, -4 be x1, y2 be -4, and y1 being -4, plug these numbers in.
-4-(-4) / 6- (-4)
-4 + 4/ 6 +4
0/10 The slope of the line is zero, with a y-axis at -4. We know this because there is a zero in the final result and the y- coordinate between (6,-4) and (-4,-4) do not change in the slightest.
The final answer is then y = -4
Nice use of brackets. We know exactly what you mean.
(10 - 7 + 2) / (-2 + 1) Notice that with an even number of - signs, you get a plus and with and odd number you get a minus.
(5) / (-1) = - 5 answer
Edit
Numerator
10 does not change.
+ - 7 Here a plus and a minus are put together. There is 1 minus sign which is an odd number of minus signs so the 7 is minus
- - 2 Here there are 2 minus signs. They become plus because 2 is even, and an even number of minuses become a plus so you have +2
10 - 7 + 2 = 5
Denominator
-2 does not change. It remains minus 2.
- - 1 There are 2 minus signs so this becomes plus 1.
- 2 + 1 = - 1
Numerator over denominator = 5/-1 = - 5. I'll probably run out of editing time. If you still don't understand, try and pinpoint the problem and we'll keep trying until you do see it. This question is worth it.
The towns would be 380 km apart. You find this by multiplying the scale accordingly (in this case 5*76)
