Jason hit 11 homeruns.

Step-by-step explanation:

Homeruns hit by Nathan = 19

Let,

Homeruns hit by Nathan = x

Homerun hit by Jason = y

According to given statement;

x = 2y - 3   Eqn 1

We know that Nathan hit 19 homeruns, therefore, putting x=19 in Eqn 1

19=2y-3\\19+3=2y\\22=2y\\2y=22

Dividing both sides by 2;

\frac{2y}{2}=\frac{22}{2}\\y=11

Jason hit 11 homeruns.

An executive invests $27,000, some at 5% and the rest at 4% annual interest. If he receives an annual return of $1,220, how much
Shtirlitz [24]

The amount invested at 5% is $12,000 whereas the remaining $15,000 was invested at 4%

What is the amount of annual return for each investment?

The amount of annual return for each investment is determined as the amount invested multiplied by the rate of return

Let us assume that y was invested at 5% and the 27000-y, the remainder was invested at 4%

Total annual return=(y*5%)+(27000-y)*4%

Total annual return=0.05y+1080-0.04y

total annual return=0.01y+1080

total annual return=1220

1220=0.01y+1080

1200-1080=0.01y

120=0.01y

y=120/0.01

y=$12,000(invested at 5%)

amount invested at 4%=27000-12000

amount invested at 4%=$15,000

A cow can give 5 gallons of milk if it eats 2 pounds of grass. Express x in terms of y, where y is the number of gallons of milk
spayn [35]

Answer:

x = 2.5y

Step-by-step explanation:

If a cow can give 5 gallons of milk after eating 2 pounds of grass.

Let's consider 'x' is the number of pounds of grass it eats and 'y' is the number of gallons of milk the cow gives.

Hence,

5y = 2x

We will simplify it to get what x equal to y by dividing 2 on both side we find,

x = 2.5y

x is equal to 2.5 y

By eating 1 pound of grass cow can give 2.5 gallons of milk.

Becca and Kimberly are running at a constant speed in a marathon. Becca runs at 4.5 miles per hour. Kimberly’s progress is shown
Georgia [21]

Answer:

Part A: Kimberly

Part B:

Becca = 22.5 miles, Kimberly = 25 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A:

Given that Becca runs at a constant speed of 4.5 miles per hour, use the table to find the constant speed that Kimberly runs, and compare who runs faster.

Let x = time

y = distance

k = speed = y/x

Equation for each person can be written as: y = kx

Therefore:

✔️Equation for Becca if k = 4.5

y = 4.5x

✔️Find k (speed) of Kimberly using (2, 10):

Speed (k) = y/x

k = 10/2

k = 5 miles per hour

Equation for Kimberly would be:

y = 5x

Comparing their speed, Kimberly runs faster because she covers more miles per hour than Becca does.

Part B:

For Becca, substitute x = 5 into Becca's equation, y = 4.5x

Thus:

y = 4.5*5 = 22.5 miles

For Kimberly, substitute x = 5 into Kimberly's equation, y = 5x

Thus:

y = 5*5 = 25 miles
