Answer:

  • 72

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Cost of each item:</u>

  • Pizza = $1.50, Hotdogs = $1.25

<u>Number of each item:</u>

  • Pizza = x, Hotdogs = x + 20

<u>Total cost:</u>

  • 1.25x + 1.5(x + 20) = 173
  • 1.25x + 1.5x + 30 = 173
  • 2.75x = 143
  • x = 143/2.75
  • x = 52

<u>Number of slices of pizza:</u>

  • 52 + 20 = 72

Barbara drives between Miami, Florida and West Palm Beach, Florida. she drives 45 miles in clear weather and then encounters a t
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

Barbara's speed in clear weather is 60mph and in the thunderstorm is 38mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let v_1 be the speed and  t_1 be the time Barbara drives in clear weather, and let v_2 be the speed and t_2 be the time she drives in the thunderstorm.

Barbara drives 22 mph lower in the thunderstorm than in the clear weather; therefore,

(1). v_2 = v_1 -22

Also,

(2). v_1t_1 = 45miles

(3). v_2 t_2 = 57,

and

(4). t_1+t_2 = 2.25hr

From equations (2) and (3) we get:

t_1 = \dfrac{45}{v_1}

t_2 =\dfrac{57}{v_2}

putting these in equation (4) we get:

\dfrac{45}{v_1}+\dfrac{57}{v_2}=2.25

and substituting for v_2 from equation (1) we get:

\dfrac{45}{v_1}+\dfrac{57}{v_1-22}=2.25

This equation can be rewritten as

2.25v_1^2-151.5v_1+990=0

which has solutions

v_1 = 60

v_1 = 7.33

We take the first solution v_1 =60 because it gives a positive value for v_2:

v_2 = v_1 -22

v_2 = 60 -22\\

v_2 = 38.

Thus, Barbara's speed in clear weather is 60mph and in the thunderstorm is 38mph.
