The question is a little vague but I believe the answer would be 16. 16 divided in half is 8. And that is 8 less than 16. < Not the answer for this question.
I didn't understand the question until Maria answered, she is completely right! Sorry for the misunderstanding.
Answer:
v = s/t
v = (381.59 miles) / (5.5 hours)
v = 69.38 mph
Here's how one would solve it:
17 + 3x2 = 6x
17 + 6 = 6x
23 = 6x
x = 23/6
There's only one solution.
Answer:
The y-intercept of the line is 2
Step-by-step explanation:
You could try to find the slope of the line and then find the intercept with y axis by sloving b = y - ax
But here it seems easy enough once you see that the x values in the table increase by a factor of 8 and the y values in the table increase by a factor of 20.
(By the way, this is enough to give you the slope, because it is 8/20 ). But why bother?
Just extrapolate the table to the left, and you will find the y value where x = 0
x 0 8 16 24 32
y 2 22 44 64 84
So the y-intercept of the line is 2.
Extra:
The full equation of the line is:
y = 8/20x + 2
Out of your $67 for the day, $40 of it goes to the rental before you even drive it out of the lot. That leaves you $27 a day for mileage.
$27 / $0.18 per mile = <u>150 miles</u> per day, tops.
