Step-by-step explanation:
The position of the mouse at time t is 4 + 12t.
The position of the cat at time t is 17t.
When the positions are equal:
4 + 12t = 17t
4 = 5t
t = 0.8
It takes 0.8 seconds.
Answer:
3kh - 12.4h
Step-by-step explanation:
h(3k-12.4)
= h(3k) - h(12.4)
= 3kh - 12.4h
Answer:
x = -2 and y = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the following system of linear equations;
y=x+4
y=-2x-2
To solve the above system, we shall be equating the right hand sides of the two equations since we have y's on the left hand side of both equations;
x + 4 = -2x - 2
add 2x on both sides of the equation;
x + 4 + 2x = -2x - 2 + 2x
3x + 4 = -2
subtract 4 on both sides of the equation;
3x + 4 - 4 = -2 - 4
3x = -6
x = -2
We can use the first equation y=x+4 to determine the value of y;
y = -2 + 4
y = 2
The solution to the system of linear equations is thus;
x = -2 and y = 2
