Answer
Find out the how long did they rest in 8 hours.
To prove
As given
contestants in a dance-a-thon rest for the same amount of time every hour.
A couple rests for 25 minutes in 5 hours .
As
25 mintues = 5 hours

1 hours = 5 mintues
Thus in 1hours a the dance -a-thon rest for 5 mintues.
Now for 8 hours.
8 hours = 8 × 5 mintues
= 40 mintues
Therefore in 8 hours a dance-a-thon rest for 40 mintues.
Let's start with y = 4x + b (since 4 is the slope);
We need to find what number should be put instead of b;
Then, let's see what needs to be done;
Plug in the y and x values from the coordinate (22,12) into y=4x+b;
12 = 4(22) + b
Solve;
12 = 88 + b
12 - 88 = b
b = -76
Remember the equation y = 4x + b? Put the -76 instead of b:
y = 4x + -76
or: y = 4x - 76
That is the equation.
To make it standard form, put x and y both in the left side, with x first then y:
-4x + y = -76

Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number be x
Therefore 3times the number will be 3x
3x + 2= 17
3x =17-2
3x=15
x=15/3
x= 5
