To solve this problem, all you have to do is 14,000/1,000, which is 14, because the elephant weighs 14,000 lbs and the cat is 1/1000 of that weight. The cat weighs 14 pounds.

Weight of the elephant= 1,000x
x= weight of the cat
14,000=1,000x
x=14 pounds is what the cat weighs. 
Check: 14*1,000= 14,000

Charlotte’s weekly paycheck is based on the number of hours worked during the week and on the weekend. If she works 13 hours dur
Schach [20]
X: earn per  hour during the week
y: earn per hour during the weekend

13x + 14y = 250.90
15x + 8y = 204.70

Multiply the first equation by 4 and the second equation by 7

52x + 56y = 1003.6
105x + 56y = 1432.90

Subtract the first equation from the second:

 53x = 429.30

x = 429.30/ 53
x = 8.10

Solve any of the equation for y:

15x + 8y = 204.70

y = [204.70 - 15(8.10)]/8 = 10.40

y - x = 10.40 -8.10 = 2.30

Answer: she earns $2.30 per hour more during the weekend than during the week.

Please help I am horrible at math! Ye is riding home from a friend's house. After 5 minutes he is 4 miles from home, after 15 mi
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

<em>y=-0.2x+5. Correct choice: A)</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Modeling With Equations</u>

Let's call x the number of minutes and y the distance from home. The correct model should meet both conditions:

After 5 minutes, Ye is 4 miles from home. This is the ordered pair (5,4)

After 15 minutes, Ye is 2 miles from home. This is the ordered pair (15,2)

A) y=-0.2x+5. Testing the first point (5,4): y=-0.2*5+5=4. Correct

Testing the second point (15,2): y=-0.2*15+5=2. Correct

This is the correct choice.

B) y=11/7x-27/7. Testing the first point: (5,4) y=11/7*5-27/7=4. Correct

Testing the second point (15,2). y=11/7*15-27/7=138/7. Incorrect

Incorrect choice.

C) This equation is equal to the choice B), thus this one is incorrect.

D) y=5x-0.2. The first point (5,4) yields to:

4=5*5-0.2=24.8 Incorrect.
