Janey bought a used bicycle for $640. the bike was 3 years old when she bought it, and cost $850 new. assuming it decreases in v

alue by the same amount each year, write a linear equation for the value of the bicycle, v, when it is t years old (so t = 0 was when it was new).

The first thing we must do in this case is to define the variables.
 We have then:
 v: the value of the bicycle
 t: years
 The standard equation of the line is:
 v-vo = m (t-to)
 The slope is:
 m = (v2-v1) / (t2-t1)
 Substituting values:
 m = (640-850) / (3-0)
 m = -70
 We choose an ordered pair:
 (to, vo) = (0, 850)
 Substituting values:
 v-850 = -70 (t-0)
 Rewriting:
 v = -70t + 850
 Answer:
 
assuming it decreases in value by the same amount each year, a linear equation for the value of the bicycle, v, when it is t years old is:
 
v = -70t + 850

Which ordered pair is a solution to the system of equations? Use any method to solve. 4x-y=5, x+y=10
fomenos

Answer:

The ordered pair ( 5, 15)  is a solution to the system of given equations.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the given equations,

4x-y=5 .......(1)

x+y=10  .......(2)

We have to find the ordered pair which is a solution to the system of given equations.

We solve the system by elimination method,

Adding both equation , to eliminate y ,

⇒ 4x - y +( x+y ) = 5+ 10

⇒ 4x - y + x + y = 15

⇒ 5x = 15

⇒ x = 5

Put x = 5 in equation (1) , and solve for y,

We get,

4x - y = 5 ⇒ 4(5) - y = 5 ⇒ y = 20 - 5 ⇒ y = 15

Thus, the ordered pair ( 5, 15)  is a solution to the system of given equations.

In a race from point X to point Y and back, Jack averages 30 miles per hour to point Y and 10 miles per hour back to point X. Sa
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

Sandy will finish the race first.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let D be the total one sided distance in miles, ( between X and Y ),

We know that,

Speed =\frac{Distance}{Time}

\implies Time =\frac{Distance}{Speed}

Since, from point X to point Y and back, Jack averages 30 miles per hour to point Y and 10 miles per hour back to point X.

So, the total time taken by Jack = \frac{D}{30}+\frac{D}{10}

=\frac{D+3D}{30}

=\frac{4D}{30}

=0.1333D

Also, Sandy averages 20 miles per hour in both directions,

So, the total time taken by Sandy = \frac{D}{20}+\frac{D}{20}

=\frac{D+D}{20}

=\frac{2D}{20}

=\frac{D}{10}

=0.10D

∵ 0.133D > 0.10D

Hence, Sandy will finish the race first.
