Many people enjoy challenging themselves by running in marathons. A marathon is a 26-mile race. The runners wear numbers that id

entify them so their progress can be tracked at checkpoints throughout the race. Such races can be modeled using equations. An athlete is running in a marathon that eventually finishes at a local high school. After x minutes, the distance the athlete is from the school is given by y (in miles), where x + 10y = 260 (Note: 0 ≤ x ≤ 10 and 0 ≤ y ≤ 26). Use the relationship between x and y to find the time it takes for the runner to reach the school.

<span>To x, we can use the equation x + 10y = 260. Solving for x, we now have x = 260 - 10y. We know that at the end, the runner is 0 miles from the school, so y = 0. Therefore x = 260 minutes.</span>

First we clear y from the given equation
 x + 10y = 260
 10y = 260-x
 y = (260-x) / (10)
 Then, we evaluate the function within the domain of it
 x = 0
 y = (260- (0)) / (10)
 y = (260) / (10)
 y = 26
 x = 10
 y = (260- (10)) / (10)
 y = (250) / (10)
 y = 25
 That is, you travel 1 mile in 10 minutes.
 Therefore, traveling 26 miles will take:
 (26) * (10) = 260 min
 answer
 it takes for the runner to reach the school 260min.

Help me find x please
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

x=11

Step-by-step explanation:

These are alternate interior angles.  Alternate interior angles are equal when the lines are parallel

6x =2x+44

Subtract 2x from each side

6x-2x =2x+44-2x

4x =44

Divide each side by 4

4x/4 = 44/4

x = 11

I need the answer ASAP
iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

When squaring the number 5 (i.e 5^2 ) the answer is 25. 5^{2} is the same thing as 5 times 5. Basically with the square root, you are going backwards, so you are therefore finding the base of it all.

I have a past due balance of $87.50 and my new charges are $75.00. I was also charged a late fee of 15% of my past due balance.
Kitty [74]
Past due balance = $87.50
Late fee = 15% of $87.50 = 0.15*87.50 = $13.125
New charges = $75.00

New total = 87.50 + 13.125 + 75 = $175.625

Answer: The new total is $175.63

3,857 rounded to the nearest thousand
alekssr [168]
3,857: 

1. 3 is located in the thousands place

2. Since 8 is bigger than 3, it's telling it to go up a number (turning 3 into a 4)

Stays the Same: 1,2,3,4
Goes Up: 5,6,7,8, etc.

So 3,857 is now rounded into 4,000
