Answer:
a) ~10.58 km/h
b) 45 min
c) 15 km/h
Step-by-step explanation:
a) 45km for 4 hours and 15min (4.25 hours) = 45 / 45.25 ~= 10.58 km/h
b) From 4:15 to 5 = 45min
c) 45km for 3 hours (5:00 to 8:00) = 45 / 3 = 15 km/h
NOTE!
The author actually wanted the answer on A) to be 10 km/h and the journey to be 4.5 hours (4 hours 30min) but instead they made it 4.25 (as shown on the graph, since 1 square is 30 minutes).
150 is the answer
right????
Since the two equations equal y, set them equal to each other.
x-1=-2x+5
From there, solve for x.
First get x on one side, by using the addition property of equality.
x-1=-2x+5
3x-1=5
Isolate x by adding 1.
3x=6
Lastly get x all by itself by dividing each side by 3.
x=2
You can now substitute your x-value, 2, into one of the equations (or both, if you wish; either one will result in the same answer.)
y=x-1
y=2-1
y=1
OR
y=-2x+5
y=-2(2)+5
y=-4+5
y=1
Final answer:
x=2 and y=1
