Answer:
1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
(7-2)/(17-2)=5/15=1/3
Answer:
y=35
Step-by-step explanation:
y in (-oo:+oo)
14 = (2*y)/5 // - (2*y)/5
14-((2*y)/5) = 0
(-2/5)*y+14 = 0
14-2/5*y = 0 // - 14
-2/5*y = -14 // : -2/5
y = -14/(-2/5)
y = 35
y = 35
Let Peter's hit be x and Alice's runs be y.
x = 2(y - 6) . . . (1)
x + y = 18 . . . (2)
Putting (1) into (2) gives,
2y - 12 + y = 18
3y = 18 + 12 = 30
y = 30/3 = 10
x = 2(10 - 6) = 2(4) = 8
Therefore, Peter hit 8 home runs and Alice hit 10 home runs.
Answer: Jeremy drove 84 miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of miles that Brenda drove.
If Jeremy drove twice
as far as Brenda, it means that the distance covered by Jeremy would be 2x miles
When they stopped after some time, they were already
126 miles apart. This means that the total distance covered by both of them is 126 miles. Therefore,
x + 2x = 126
3x = 126
x = 126/3
x = 42 miles
The number of miles that Jeremy drove is
42 × 2 = 84 miles
