Ben participated in a race. During the first half of the race, he walked 3 miles and ran at a rate of 5 miles per hour for x hours. During the second half of the race, he walked for 2 miles and ran at a rate of 5.5 miles per hour for x hours. What equation could you write to solve for the number of hours Ben ran during each half of the race? Let y represent the number of miles in half the race. Write two equations, one for the first half of the race and one for the second half. How could you transform these two equations to be the same as the original equation you wrote to solve for x? What do you think this means about solving for the variables in a situation represented by two equations?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

During the first half of the race, he walked 3 miles and ran at a rate of 5 miles per hour for x hours.y = 5x + 3

During the second half of the race, he walked for 2 miles and ran at a rate of 5.5 miles per hour for x hours. y = 5.5x + 2

Then using both equations will be:

y = 5x + 3

y = 5.5x + 2

Subtract the equations

0.5x = 1

x = 1/0.5 = 2

Therefore, the value of y will be:

y = 5x + 3 = 5(2) + 3 = 13

I just need this one answer from something, I'll give BRAINLY a lot to

Answers

It should be 383.5 if you’re rounding the decimal to the nearest tenth
To round to he nearest whole tenth it would be 380

Answer:

383.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to round 383.52 to the nearest tenth.

The tenth would be the 5.

To round we look at the number after the one we want to round ( so 2 )

If the number is greater than 4 so ( 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9 ) then we raise the number that we want to round but if its less than 5 ( 4, 3, 2, 1 , 0 ) we keep the number as it is.

2 is less than 5 so we keep 5 as it is to get 383.5

Darin bought a new pair of soccer cleats for $59.99. The sales tax is 6.5%. What is the total cost the Darin will pay?

Answers

Answer $63.89

Explanation
59.99 x 6.5% = 3.899 = 3.9
59.99 + 3.9 = 63.89

Answer: $63.89

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the answer, you have to add the amount charged for the soccer cleats plus the amount of the sales tax.

[tex]59.99 + .065(59.99) = $63.889[/tex]

$63.889 rounded is equal to: $63.89

Please find the surface area of the pyramid... I will mark you brainliest

Step-by-step explanation:

Surface area (S.A. ) = 1/2 lp + B where l is the slant height , p is the  perimeter of the base, and B is the area of the base .

Given l = 14; The Base figure is a square so the p = 4· side = 4 · 16 = 64 and the area of the Base = s² = 256

S.A = 1/2 · 14 · 64 + 256

Francesca is painting a picture of the purple flowers in her garden. She mixes paint to make the perfect color for each type of flower. For the daisies, she mixes 2 ounces of white paint and 5 ounces of purple paint. For the tulips, she mixes 3 ounces of white paint and 6 ounces of purple paint. Which flower is a darker shade of purple?

Answers

Find total ounces mixed for each flower:

Daisies = 2+5 = 7 ounces

Tulips = 3 +6 = 9 ounces

Now find the ratio of purple to white for each one:

Daisies = 5/7 = 0.714

Tulips = 6/9 = 0.666

Daisies have more purple so would be the darker ones.

Which inequality describes the possible values for x?

A 2 B 2 C2 D2

Answers

The inequality that best describes the possible values of x is; Choice A: 2 < x < 10

In a polygon such as that given in the question;

Two scenarios may occur regarding angle; (3x -6)

They are as follows:

3x - 6 < 24. OR3x - 6 > 0.

This is so because angle 3x - 6 must be between and 24° since 36 > 34

By evaluation;

3x - 6 < 24

3x < 24 + 6

3x < 30

x < 30/3

x < 10

Also,

3x - 6 > 0

3x > 6

x > 2.

Therefore, the inequality that best describes the possible values of x is; Choice A: 2 < x < 10

The inequality that describes the possible values of x is 2 < x < 10.

The given parameters:

Longer length = 36Shorter length = 34Angle facing the longer length = 24⁰Angle facing the shorter length = (3x - 6)⁰

From the given polygon, the angle facing the shorter length (34) will have the following possible values;

(3x - 6)⁰ < 24⁰, or(3x - 6)⁰ > 0

The range of of values of x is calculated as follows;

3x - 6 < 24

3x < 24 + 6

3x < 30

I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST Hey can someone tell me simply HOW to come to this conclusion? im a bit confiused as to how, dont want to cheat i want to learn. (P.S ive missed multiple grades which has left me with alot of gaps to fill.)

Answers

Answer:

  (b)  x +2y = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

There are at least a couple of ways to come to the conclusion.

  1) use the given information to write the equation of the desired line

  2) check to see which of the answer choices satisfies the requirement

__

1)

The given line has two specified points on it. These can be used to find its slope. (Or, you can count grid square to see it has a rise of -1 for a run of +2.)

The slope formula is ...

  m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)

  m = (-4 -0)/(4 -(-4)) = -4/8 = -1/2

Comparing this to our grid square count, we see they are the same:

  m = rise/run = -1/2

Now, we have a slope (-1/2) and a point (2, 3), so we can use these to write the point-slope equation of the desired line:

  y -k = m(x -h) . . . . . . . line with slope m through point (h, k)

  y -3 = -1/2(x -2) . . . . . point-slope equation of the desired line

  y -3 = -1/2x +1 . . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  1/2x +y = 4 . . . . . . . . add 1/2x +3 to both sides

  x +2y = 8 . . . . . . . . . multiply by 2

__

2)

Perhaps easier in this case is to try the given equations to see which is satisfied at the given point. There are two different left-side expressions to evaluate at the point (x, y) = (2, 3):

  x +2y = (2 +2(3)) = 2+6 = 8

  2x +y = 2(2) +3 = 4 +3 = 7

Only the equation ...

  x +2y = 8

is satisfied at the given point.

_____

Additional comments

While I encourage you to learn to solve questions like this "from scratch", modern math curriculum is often "multiple choice."

When faced with multiple choices for answers, it is often easiest to ...

  (a) eliminate the ones that are not self-consistent or that are false on their face;

  (b) eliminate the ones that have an obviously fatal flaw (wrong sign of slope, too large or too small, for example);

  (c) choose from the remaining ones the one that properly answers the question (satisfies all requirements).

__

When you solve a standard-form equation for y, you get ...

  ax +by = c

  by = -ax +c

  y = -a/bx +c/b

That is, the slope of the line is -a/b.

For the two left-side expressions in the answer choices, the slopes are ...

  x +2y   ⇒   slope = -1/2

  2x +y   ⇒   slope = -2/1 = -2

The scales on the graph are the same in the x- and y-directions, so the shallow negative slope of the given line is clearly less than 1. That eliminates the last two answer choices already.

Answer:

The numbers are 27 and 41.

Hope you could get an idea from here.

Doubt clarification - use comment section.

Answer:

The numbers would be 41 and 27

Step-by-step explanation:

It would be 41 and 27 because the number we know is 64 so if you divide that by 2 you have 34 (34+34=68) and if you then take half of 14 (14 comes from this part of the question "the larger number is 14 more than the smaller number".) (14/2=7) 7 from one side and add it to the other side you get 41+27=68

(we can also fact check this because your smaller number 27 plus 14 equal 41, then and 41 plus 27 equals 68)
