Answer:
52 miles/week (12 more miles per week)
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to know the miles per week with this increasement, we'll use the rule of 3, assuming that 40 miles is the 100% innitially so:
If:
40 miles --------->100%
X miles ----------> 30%
Solving for X we have the following:
X = 30 * 40 / 100 = 12 miles
So, if Adam wants to increase his weekly mileage by 30%, he needs to run 12 more miles, and that makes a total of 52 miles/week
You simply put 40 over a hundred and 55 over n (which is the number were trying to find) so you do cross multiplication. 55 times a hundred and after you get the answer. You divide it by 40 and should get 137.5.
Y - 8 =(-8/9)(x - 3)
y - 24/3 = (-8/9)x + 8/3
y = (-8/9)x + 32/3
B I think if I’m wrong I sooooo sorry
