Using proportions, it is found that:
- Peter is walking at a rate of 3 km/h.
- MJ is biking at a rate of 9 km/h.
---------------------------
- Peter is walking at a rate of x km/h.
- MJ is biking 6 km/h faster than Peter, thus 6 + x km/h.
- Opposite directions, thus, their distance increases at a rate of (6 + 2x) km each hour, as
.
6 + 2x km each hour, 18 km after 1.5 hours, thus, the rule of three is:
1h - (6 + 2x) km
1.5h - 18 km
Applying cross multiplication:
Then:
- Peter is walking at a rate of 3 km/h.
- MJ is biking at a rate of 9 km/h.

Answer:
<em> y = 4.25x</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
After 2 week he has used 8 1/2 cups of dog food after 5 week he has used 21 1/4 cups, we can write this in coordinate form (x, y) where;
y is the amount of dog food
x is the time in weeks
The coordinates are (2, 8 1/2) and (5, 21 1/4)
get the slope m:
m = y2-y1/x2-x1
m = (21 1/4 - 8 1/2)/5-2
m = (85/4-17/2)/3
m = (85-34/4)/3
m = 51/12
m = 4.25
Get the intercept c:
Substitute any of the points say (2, 17/2) and m = 51/12 into the equation
y = mx+c
17/2 = 51/12(2) + c
17/2 = 51/6 + c
c = 17/2 - 51/6
c = 51-51/6
c = 0
Get the required equation:
substitute m - 4.25 and c = 0 into y = mx+c
y = 4.25x + 0
<em>Hence the required equation is y = 4.25x</em>

To answer this question, you need to know that a quarter is worth $0.25 and dimes worth $0.10. In this case, the total number of money that made from quarters and dimes is $2.80
With Q=quarter and D=dime, then the equation should be:
2.80= 0.25 Q + 0.10 D
The condition that needs to be fulfilled in this case is that the quarter should be 8 more than dimes. Then you need to find out the highest possible number of the quarter and lowest possible number of the dimes.
If you divide 2.8 with 0.25 you will found it will be 11.2 but 11 quarter will result with 0.05 value which you cannot remove, so the highest possible of the quarter should be 10.
If the highest possible of the quarter is 10, then the lowest possible of dimes should be:
2.8= 0.25(10) + 0.10D
0.10D= 0.3
D=3
Since 10-3 is 7, then it is not possible for the quarter to be 8 more than the dimes.
