Answer:
The sidewalk moves at 0.5 ft/sec
Josie's speed walking on a non-moving ground is 3.5ft/sec
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the speed of the side walk and y represent her walking speed
It takes Jason's 8-year-old daughter Josie 44 sec to travel 176 ft walking with the sidewalk
Distance = speed × time
176 = (x+y)×44
44x+44y = 176
x+y = 4 .......1
It takes her 7 sec to walk 21 ft against the moving sidewalk in the opposite direction).
21 = (y-x)7
7y - 7x = 21
y - x = 3 ......2
Add equation 1 to 2
2y = 7
y = 3.5 ft/sec
From equation 1
x + y = 4
x = 4 - 3.5 = 0.5
x = 0.5 ft/sec
The sidewalk moves at 0.5 ft/sec
Josie's speed walking on a non-moving ground is 3.5ft/sec
Hello,
Adding the 2 equations,
x+y+x-y=k+k ==>2x=2k==>x=k
if x=k, y=k-k=0
solution is (k,0)
Answer:
48 minutes.
Step-by-step explanation:
9 divided by 3 equals 3, 16 multiplied by 3 equals 48.
7y +8= 9+3y+2y
Combine like terms.
7y+8= 9+5y
Subtract 5y on both sides.
2y+8=9
Subtract 8 on both sides.
2y=1
Your answer is 2y=1
I hope this helps!
