Answer:

Chris and Tracy cross the bridge together = 2 minutes

Chris goes back on his own (leaving Tracy across the bridge) = 1 minute

Chris gives the flashlight to Ashley

Ashley and Jalen cross the bridge together = 10 minutes

They give the flashlight to Tracy (who was waiting across the bridge)

Tracy goes back = 2 minutes

Chris and Tracy cross the bridge together = 2 minutes

Total 17 minutes

So, the first thing is that the group requires flashlight to cross the bridge. It also means that each time one person must return to bring back the flashlight.

Chris and Tracy cross the bridge in 2 minutes. ( The maximum time required by both of them would be 2 minutes)

Then Chris would return with flashlight in 1 minute.

Ashley and Jalen then cross the bridge in 10 minutes.

Now, Tracy will return with flash light in 2 minutes.

Then, Chris and Tracy will cross the bridge in 2 minutes.

<u>Total</u><u> </u><u>time</u><u> </u><u>taken</u><u> </u><u>=</u><u>></u> 2+1+10+2+2 <u>=</u><u>></u> 17 minutes.

Type ALL the steps of writing the equation of the line given the slope of the line is −4 and a point on the line is (−2,1).
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

y = -4x - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

we use the slope intercept formula given by; y = mx + b

b = y intercept, which is when x = 0

m = slope

so they tell us the slope.. we just need to find b - the y intercept.

y = mx + b

plug in your coordinates (-2,1)

1 = -4(-2) + b

1 = 8 + b

1 - 8 = b

-7 = b

put it all together.

y = -4x - 7

Answer:

260 stickers

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Gareth's stickers be x.

Hence Cheryl sticker is 160+x;

If Cheryl gave 185 stickers

to Gareth, it means:

Cheryl has at the moment;

160 + x - 185 = x - 25

At this time when Gareth receives 185 he now has:

x+ 185

Also when he receives x +185, he has 3 times Cherry's meaning:

x+185 =3(x-25)

x + 185 = 3x -75

185 + 75 = 3x-2x

260= x

x = 260.

Hence Gareth has 260 stickers
