Answer:

160 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Before I begin, note that distance = rate * time (or d = r * t)

To solve this problem, we need to find what point these two people have the same distance. (so Janiyah covers the same distance as Connor)

So, let's set the time that Janiyah takes as x (in seconds). So, he covers

d = r * t, or 8x meters

Then, Connor's equation would be

d = r * t

d = 5x + 60 (because he got a 60 meter headstart)

Because d is the same in both equations, to solve for the amount of time they run:

8x = 5x + 60

Subtract 5x from both sides.

3x = 60

x = 20

Then, to find Janiyah's distance (you can also use Connors because the two distances are equal), put x = 20 into 8x

8x = 8 * 20 = 160

So, Janiyah ran 160 meters.

Just in case, let's check if this is correct. Connor's distance equals Janiyah's, so

5x + 60 = 160

5 * 20 + 60 = 160

100 + 60 = 160

160 = 160

True.

So, the answers are correct.

I hope this helps! Feel free to ask any questions!

Identify the explicit function for the sequence in the table
nignag [31]
The common difference is 19-7 = 31-19 = 12, so this is an arithmetic sequence. The initial term (when n=1) is 7.

The explicit formula for the terms of an arithmetic sequence is
  an = a1 + d(n-1)
where "a1" is the first term and "d" is the common difference. The formula that matches a1=7 and d=12 is
  B. a(n) = 7+(n-1)·12

It is a rhombus
It is so because all its sides are equalto 10cm.
opposite angles are equal. in a parallelogram opposite angles are equal but all sides aren't equal but in case of a rhombus it is so.

A student moves into a bigger apartment that rents for $550 per month. That rent is $300 less than twice what she had been payin
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Her former rent is $ x

Twice the former rent: 2*x = 2x

$300 less than 2x: 2x - 300

2x - 300 = 550

Add 300 to both sides

2x - 300 + 300 = 550  + 300

                    2x = 850

Divide both sides by 2

               2x/2 = 850/2

x = 425

Her former rent = $425
