Plug -8 in for x:
4(-8) + 5
solve:
-32 + 5
-27
Let the distance of the first part of the race be x, and that of the second part, 15 - x, then
x/8 + (15 - x)/20 = 1.125
5x + 2(15 - x) = 40 x 1.125
5x + 30 - 2x = 45
3x = 45 - 30 = 15
x = 15/3 = 5
Therefore, the distance of the first part of the race is 5 miles and the time is 5/8 = 0.625 hours or 37.5 minutes
The distance of the second part of the race is 15 - 5 = 10 miles and the time is 1.125 - 0.625 = 0.5 hours or 30 minutes.
Answer:
A program at a community college can be completed in no fewer than 8 months, but must be completed in less than 11 months.
Step-by-step explanation:
1. The closed dot means the number is equal to and the open dot means the number is less/ greater than
2. The line goes right from the 8 with a closed dot, making x greater than or equal to 8
3. The line goes left from the 11 with an open dot, making x less than ll
4. This means the number must be equal to or greater than 8, and less than 11
