Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Billy and Maria mow lawns. Billy earned $15 the first day and $20 every day after that. This means the if Billy mowed lawns for x days after the first day, the total amount earned by Billy would be

15 + 20x

Maria earned $10 the first day and $25 every day after that. This means the if Maria mowed lawns for y days after the first day, the total amount earned by Maria would be

10 + 25y

To determine how much each earns after 15 days, it becomes

For Billy, x = 15

Amount earned = 15 + 20×15 = $315

For Maria, y = 15

Amount earned = 10 + 25×15 = $385

Maria earns more than Billy

Stu hiked a trail at an average rate of 3 miles per hour. He ran back on the same trail at an average rate of 5 miles per hour.
fredd [130]
Let d =  the length of the trail, miles

Note that
distance = speed * time
or
time = distance / speed.

The time, t₁, to travel the trail at 3 miles per hour is
t₁ = d/3 hours
The time, t₂, to travel back at 5 miles per hour is
t₂ = d/5 hours

Because the total time is 3 hours, therefore
t₁ + t₂ = 3
d/3 + d/5 = 3
d(1/3 + 1/5) = 3
d(8/15) = 3
Multiply each side by 15.
8d = 3*15 =45
d = 45/8 = 5 5/8 miles or 5.625 miles
Total distance = 2*d = 11.25 miles or 11 1/4 miles.

t₁ = 5.625/3 = 1.875 hours or 1 hour, 52.5 minutes
t₂ = 5.625/5 = 1.125 hours or 1 hour , 7.5 minutes

Answers ;
Time to travel at 3 miles per hour = 1.875 hours (1 hour, 52.5 minutes)
Time to return at 5 miles per hour = 1.125 hours (1 hour, 7.5 minutes)
Total distance traveled = 2*d = 11.25 miles.

Which equation represents a line that passes through (5, 1) and has a slope of StartFraction one-half EndFraction?
saul85 [17]

Answer:

y – 1 = y minus 1 equals StartFraction one-half EndFraction left-parenthesis x minus 5 right-parenthesis.(x –5)

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The equation of the line into point slope form is equal to

y-y1=m(x-x1)

we have

m=\frac{1}{2}

(5,1)

substitute

y-1=\frac{1}{2}(x-5)
